Summer activities: modal verbs in two-verb structures

4 lessons

Threads

  • Negation

Description

In this unit, pupils extend their knowledge of two-verb structures as modal verbs with dependent infinitives are introduced. 'Devoir' 'vouloir' and 'pouvoir' in singular persons are taught so pupils can express what they want to, have to and can do on holidays. SSCs -ien and -tion are revisited.

Pupils enrich their verb lexicon with the highly frequent modal verbs 'devoir', 'vouloir' and 'pouvoir' in singular persons. These modal verbs with dependent infinitives enrich pupils' prior knowledge of two-verb structures, allowing them to use known high frequency vocabulary to develop more nuanced communication. Pupils' knowledge of questions and negative sentences with modals verbs and dependent infinitives consolidates existing grammar knowledge as pupils exploit this in role play contexts, making plans to meet up.

  1. Want and must: 'vouloir' and 'devoir' 1st and 3rd persons singular
  2. What others want or have to do: 'vouloir' and 'devoir' singular
  3. What you can and can't do: 'pouvoir' and 'savoir' singular persons
  4. What you can and can't do: negation with modal verbs + infinitive

  • Pupils know what an infinitive is.
  • Pupils know the subject pronouns je, tu, il and elle.
  • Pupils know how to negate a sentence using ne...pas.
  • Pupils can make questions using inversion with single and two verb structures.
