Summary
The word “may” can be used for possibility or permission. It’s a modal auxiliary verb!
- Students analyze two sets of three sentences, each using the word “may.” Set A uses the word differently than Set B. They compare and contrast, attempting to describe the pattern in each set.
- We add three more examples which are ungrouped. Students will apply their patterns from the first video to group these examples into either Set A or Set B.
- We reveal the correct groupings from step 2 and then explain the patterns. Set A uses “may” to show possibility while Set B uses “may” to show permission. Students are then left with a worksheet to complete.
