• Use the keyboard as a palette to create shapes. %tgbHU8*- Follow that on the keyboard. It’s a V. The letter V starting with any of the top keys. To change these periodically, you can slide them across the keyboard. Use W if you are feeling all crazy.

Pair Work: Write a list of 10 guidelines for one of these two topics:

• How to deal with passwords 
• How to protect your data from getting lost

Use modals to write these guidelines.

Definition:

A modal verb is a type of auxiliary (helping) verb that is used to express: ability, permission, possibility, permission, advice or obligation (5 types).

Characteristics

• asks for an infinitive
• no endings
• only in Present Simple
• Negation with 'not'
• Interrogation with inversion
• substitute forms: must =) have to

Modal phrases (or semi-modals) are used to express the same things as modals, but are a combination of auxiliary verbs and the preposition to. The modals and semi-modals in English are:

• Can/could/be able to
• May/might
• Shall/should
• Must/have to
• Will/would
