Guía didáctica: <strong>Communicative</strong> <strong>Grammar</strong> <strong>III</strong><br />

UNIT 8: MORE MODALS AND SIMILAR EXPRESSIONS<br />

Dear student, this is the last unit of <strong>Communicative</strong> <strong>Grammar</strong> <strong>III</strong>. I’m sure you will find it interesting<br />

just like the other units in this course. This last unit includes pertinent activities such as cloze, gap-fill,<br />

listening, writing and editing exercises related to modals and similar expressions. Let’s start with the first<br />

grammar point.<br />

8.1. Preferences: Prefer, Would prefer, Would rather<br />

You will begin this part of your textbook with a bar graph and a questionnaire about leisure-time<br />

preferences. You don’t need to answer the questionnaire but you can do the “Before you read” and “After<br />

you read” activities in your textbook.<br />

I also suggest you check your understanding by answering the following questions:<br />

Exercise:<br />

After completing the exercise above, look at the charts in the section “<strong>Grammar</strong> Presentation” in your<br />

book. You will see the structure of statements that express preference. This chart is useful to start reading<br />

the section “<strong>Grammar</strong> Notes” in which you will learn about the uses of “prefer”, “would prefer”, and “would<br />

rather” to talk about things or activities that you like better than other things or activities.<br />

I hope this topic is easy to understand. Now you can begin to work on the sections “Focused Practice”<br />

and “Communication Practice” in your textbook. These activities will help you better understand this<br />

grammar point.<br />
