hello and welcome back to english with

Hola a todos y bienvenidos nuevamente a "English with

Lucy today I've got a grammar video for

Lucy". Hoy, les traigo un video sobre gramática.

you I know it's been a while since I did

Sé que hace ya mucho tiempo no hacía

a grammar video but a lot of you have

un video sobre Gramática, pero ya que muchos de Uds lo han

asked for a video on modal verbs so here

pedido, hoy se los traigo.

it is today I'm going to introduce you

Les haré conocer los Verbos Modales en Inglés

to modal verbs i'm going to tell you the

Les explicaré las reglas de los mismos,

rules how to use them when to use them

a cómo usarlos, cuándo usarlos...

do note that there are a lot of

Tengan en cuenta que hay muchas

different situations in which you need

y diferentes situaciones en las que necesitarás

to use different modal verbs and it would

hacer uso de diferentes Verbos Modales y

be impossible for me to go through them

que me sería imposible cubrirlas todas

all so this is an introduction and

por lo que esto es sólo una introducción y

hopefully you will leave the lesson

espero que al final del video Uds se sientan

feeling a lot more comfortable when

mucho más cómodos al usar los Verbos Modales.

using modal verbs let's get started

¡Entonces, empecemos!

so firstly what are modal verbs well

Primeramente, ¿Qué son los Verbos Modales?

they are part of a larger category

Pues bien, ellos son parte de una gran categoría de verbos

called auxiliary verbs and these are verbs

llamados "auxiliares", los cuales son verbos

that add meaning to another verbnow modal

que confieren mayor significado a otros verbos.

verbs are special because they follow a

Los Verbos Modales son especiales ya que siguen

strict set of rules and they are used in a

un estricto conjunto de reglas y además son usados

very specific way I'm going to talk

de forma muy específica. Les comentaré

about the nine modal verbs today don't

sobre los 9 Verbos Modales hoy.

get them confused with the semi models

No deben ser confundidos con los Verbos Semi-modales

that only follow some of the modal verb

que sólo siguen algunas de las reglas de los Modales.

rules now if I ask you right now to tell

Díganme,¿Si yo les pidiera ahora mismo que me dijesen los 9 Verbos Modales...

me the nine modal verbs would you be

serían capaces de decirlos?

able to tell me them if you can

Si son capaces, perfecto pero para

that's great but for those who can't

aquellos que no

I've got a really easy way of

les tengo un truco para que los entiendan.

remembering them we've got 3 m's 2 w's

Tenemos 3 Emes(M) y 2 Doble V(W),

to c's and two s' so when you

2 Cs(C) y 2 Eses(S). Si las escribes

write them out in a pattern it's much

siguiendo un patrón, se hace mucho

much easier to remember them all

más fácil recordarlas.

so we've got the 3 m's we've got must

Entonces, si tenemos 3 Emes, tenemos Must,

might and may we've then got the 2 w's will

Might y May. Luego, tenemos las 2 Doble V:

and would we then got the 2 c's can and

Will & Would. Asimismo, tenemos las dos C: Can y Could.

could and then the two S's shall and

Y luego, las dos S: Shall y Should.

should remember will and would our

Les recuerdo que Will y Would son

special in spoken and informal language

especiales al hablar informalmente...

they can be contracted so will can turn

Ellos pueden ser contraídos. Así, Will puede

into ' Double L i will i'll and would

convertirse en Doble L. I will (I'll) y Would

can turn into apostrophe D so we have

puede volverse sólo un apóstrofe seguido de D. Por ejemplo,

she would she'd now the majority of

She would, se vuelve She'd. La mayoría de

these modal verbs express different

estos verbos modales expresan diferentes

meaning depending on

significados dependiendo del contexto,

the context so you really have to

por lo tanto, hay que entender

understand the sentence or question as a

la oración o pregunta como

whole

un todo.

I'm going to help you with this today later

Yo les ayudaré con ello hoy. Luego,

on in the video we can talk about the

podremos hablar acerca de los

different meanings that each modal verb

diferentes significados que cada Verbo Modal

can express but firstly we need to go

puede expresar, pero en principio necesitamos conocer

through the rules

las reglas.

what can you do with them what can't you

¿Qué pueden y no pueden hacer con ellas?

do with them without these rules you're

Sin ellas, se les hará difícil

going to find it very difficult to use

utilizar los modales,

them but the good news is that all of

pero la buena noticia es que todas esas

these rules apply to the nine modal

reglas se aplican a los 9 modales

verbs that we're looking at in this

que estamos estudiando en este episodio.

lesson so rule number one infinitives come

Así que... Regla número 1. Los verbos infinitivos se colocan después de

after modal verbs but without to ok so

cada verbo modal pero sin TO ¿De acuerdo?

we're saying i might eat pizza

Por ejemplo, decimos: I might eat Pizza,

I can play football rule number 2 modal

I can play Football. Regla número 2.

verbs take no s in the third person

Los verbos modales no aceptan S en la tercera persona

singular she must leave or it might

del singular. Ej. She must leave o It might

happen

happen.

rule number three modal verbs do not

Tercera regla. Los Verbos Modales no

change their form according to tense so

cambian su forma de acuerdo al tiempo verbal.

they've got no past form and they've got

Es decir, ellos no poseen forma en pasado ni

no future form it just stays the same so

en futuro. Su forma no varia.

the easy way of remembering it is modal

Una manera sencilla de recordarlo es

verbs don't change they stay exactly as

que los Modales no cambian, siempre son los mismos.

they are so rule number four we use

Regla N°4. Usamos los Modales en

modal verbs in negative sentences like

oraciones negativas de la misma forma

we do with other auxiliary verbs ie

que lo hacemos con otros verbos auxiliares,

without the word do so the way we use

sin la palabra DO, o sea, la forma de emplearlos

modal verbs in negative sentences is

en oraciones negativas es:

subject modal verb not verb

Sujeto+Verbo modal+Not+verbo infinitivo sin TO.

let's look at some examples you must not

Miremos algunos ejemplos:

eat my food

You must not eat food.

you must not eat my food or i can not

You must not eat my food, o

speak French

I can not speak French.

I cannot speak French so it's always in

Como ven, siempre se usa

that order

ese orden gramatical;

just like we would with other auxiliary

justo como lo haríamos con otros verbos

verbs now remember you must learn the

auxiliares. Más, no olvidemos aprender

contractions for the negatives which are

las contracciones en oraciones negativas

used quite frequently in spokane or

que frecuentemente se usan en inglés hablado

informal language might might not

e informal. Might= Might not= mightn't

mightn't must must not mustn't may may not

Must= must not = mustn't

no contraction

May = May not, no existe contracción aquí.

can cannot can't could could not

Can = can not = can't. Could=could not=couldn't

couldn't will will not won't would would

Will= Will not = Won't. Would= Would not=

not wouldn't shall shall not shan't

Wouldn't. Shall=shall not=Shan't.

should should not shouldn't

Should=Should not= Shouldn't.

ok so those were the negative

Así que, esas fueron las formas de contracciones negativas.

contractions number five

Regla Número 5.

easy now we've looked at number four

Fácil. ya hemos visto la regla 4.

with interrogative phrases modal verbs

Con frases interrogativas, los Verbos Modales

are used like other auxiliary verbs

se usan igual que otros verbos auxiliares:
