Close ups - fun excercise to practise modal verbs (with answers)
It is a fun excercise I prepared for my students to practise modal verbs constructions, a grammar topic that resulted for them to be quite boring and so they didnīt want to practise it. But they were more than happy to use all the modal verb constructions (It could be, It can be, It may be, It might be, It must be, It canīt be, etc.) while doing this excercise.
It is not only a grammar excercise but also a challenge for your students since they play to be kind of detectives, trying to figure out what each of the 21 pictures presents. Each picture is a macro photograph, which means that it doesnīt show the whole thing, but just a little part of it. The students have to guess what each photo depicts choosing one of the options given in a table below all the pictures(2nd page). If they are sure about their guess, they use the "It must be" construction, if they are not so sure, but still pretty sure, they use "it may/can/could be" construction.
You can also use this excercise in groups. You divide the class into e.g. two groups. Each of the groups thinks about the answers for all the pictures and later they present their opinions giving explanation to each of them: "It must be a keyboard because in the picture you can see a īdī key." Then the second group may agree or disagree (e.g. I canīt be a keyboard because...) with the 1st groupīs opinion. The group that guesses most of the pictures correctly, wins.
I hope you have fun as much as I had.
Enjoy!!!
