Guía didáctica: Communicative Grammar III
Once you go through the information in “Grammar Notes you can check your understanding of what
you have read in “Grammar Notes” by doing the exercises in the sections “Focused Practice” and
“Communication Practice” in your textbook. These activities will be very useful as they are a preparation
for the on-site exams.
Let’s continue with modals of advice.
3.4. Advice: Should, Ought to, Had better
You will begin this part of your textbook with a comprehensive reading of an interesting article about
being polite on the Internet. Additionally, you have a list of cyberwords with their meanings that will
help you understand the article called “Netiquette 101.”
I also suggest you check your understanding by answering the following questions:
Exercise:
What kind of advice does the article give?
_______________________________________________________________
What should you do before posting your own ideas?
_______________________________________________________________
Why shouldn’t you use capital letters?
_______________________________________________________________
Why should you count to ten before replying to a message that made you angry?
_______________________________________________________________
What do emoticons show?
_______________________________________________________________
Why shouldn’t you use your real name on the Internet?
_______________________________________________________________
After completing the exercise above, look at the charts in the section “Grammar Presentation”. You will
see the structure of statements, yes/no questions, short answers and Wh- questions using the modals
should, ought to, and had better. This chart is useful to start reading the section “Grammar Notes” in
which you will learn about ways to give and ask for advice.
I hope these modals are easy to understand. Now you can begin to work on the sections “Focused
Practice” and “Communication Practice” in your textbook.
Once you understand the use of these modals of advice you can move on to the next point about modals
and expressions of suggestion.
