First in this section, we covered modals. Modals express the speakers feeling or attitude towards a particular verb. They include the words could, might, may, must, will, would, shall, can, should. They have many usages but a few examples are: expressing ability, obligation, and possibility. We covered active and passive voice. A brief explanation would be that active voice is when the subject is first. Passive is when the object is first in a sentence. We then went over how to switch from active to passive in different tenses.
