Modals and ESL Learners

Hello, everybody Many colleagues of mine are in permanent struggles with modals and modality because they face difficulties when teaching them.That happened to me many times. That's why I advise everybody to visit the following site to help you get rid of that problemhttp://www.ssdd.bcu.ac.uk/learner/Grammar%20Guides/3.07%20Modals.htm

What is a modal? What is modality? How do we form modals? And what do modals mean? These are the questions that many ESL students ask when trying to learn modals. Modals are difficult for ESL students to grasp because a modal and modality are rarely explained to an ESL student, the form of modals does not follow the conventional rules of grammar, and there are so many meanings of modals that students often get confused about which modal to choose. Best wishes. [size=12]Ouled-Djellal.[/size
