This blog has been designed to provide information about the activities held at the social studies bilingual sections in CPI Tino Grandío (Guntín,Spain). The English language and Social Studies teachers have elaborated most of the resources you can see but our "auxiliares de conversa" also have their own page and posts. Therefore everyone is invited to have a look .

subject and object questions

Most questions are object questions. They ask about an object.
  • Where do you live?
  • Who did you see? 
And there are also subject questions. Questions we ask to find out about the subject. These questions are asked using 'who', 'what' and 'which'.  
  • Who plays football in this class?
  • What happened?
  • Which machine did Marconi invent? 
You can take a look at the following chart of question forms:

FormExamples
Object Questions wh- + auxiliary + subject + main verbWhere do you live?
What will you do?
When is she coming?
Subject Questions wh- (=subject) + auxiliary + main verb

Notice that this structure is like affirmative sentence structure without the question word.
Who loves you?
Which car will arrive first?
What type of food costs less?

Modal verbs for 4º ESO

WHAT IS A MODAL VERB?

  • A modal is a type of auxiliary verb that is used to express: ability, possibility, permission or obligation. Modal phrases are used to express the same things as modals, but are a combination of auxiliary verbs and the preposition to. The characteristics of modal verbs are:
    • they have their own negative:
      • can - can't
      • must - mustn't
      • should - shouldn't
    • they have their own interrogative:
      • Can you come?
      • Must we go?
      • What should I do?
    • they are usually followed by another verb:
      • We shouldn't finish after 8.
      • They could drive a car at 16.
    • they never change form, never add -s, -ed, -ing.
      • He can ride a bike.
      • They mustn't drive at night.
    • they are always followed by an infinitive without to.




MEANING
  • CAN/CAN'T: ability, possibility
  • MUST/MUSTN'T:: obligation/prohibition
  • SHOULD/SHOULDN'T:: advice
