This is how our TEFL graduates feel they have gained from their course, and how they plan to put into action what they learned:
In this, the final unit dedicated to grammar, we reviewed modals, phrasal verbs, and passive voice.
Modal Auxiliary Verbs (such as \"can, could, may, would,, have, should, ought to,\" etc.) are used to give meaning to the main verb and express obligation, possibility or probability, ability, and advice. They do not change form according to person and are followed by a verb in the base form for present and future meanings, with a few more steps to express them in past meanings.
Passive voice shifts focus from the subject committing the action to the action itself being committed (or the object to whom the action is committed). While it does come in handy for very specific purposes (when we do not know, we know ut do not want to say, or do not feel it is important to say who committed the action), and it is imperative to teach the students all about the passive voice (to include independent, dependent, and relative clauses); it should be stressed that active voice is the preferred voicing 9 out of 10 times.
Finally, we discussed the three types of phrasal verbs: Intransitive (which cannot be followed by a direct object) Transitive Separable (which can only come before an object pronoun -- not be followed by one -- but can come before or after an object noun), and Transitive Inseparable (which are followed by the object phrase or object pronoun).
