MUST, SHOULD, WOULD, MIGHT, and others can change the meaning of your writing significantly? In this class, I show you how modals in English writing signal whether you are stating a fact, making an assertion, or giving an opinion or suggestion, and why using the wrong modal verb can confuse your reader. You will also learn about the common problem of mixing up “will” and “would”. This lesson is especially helpful if you’re preparing for IELTS or TOEFL, because understanding modality is essential for the writing and reading sections.
