I. Introduction

In English we use modal verbs in different context or situations, for example to give advice,ask
for permission, request, etc. we use should, for example to give an advice and have to express an
obligation. Modal verbs are very common in English. They are used to talk about a variety of
things, particularly possibilities, obligations, and deductions. they share certain characteristics,
they don’t change form to match the subject, and they are always followed by a main verb in its
base form. Their question and negative forms are made without “do.”

So in this assignment there will be focused on two modal verbs, should and have to in all their
forms, positive, negative and question.

 2. Work objectives

2.1 . Main objective

o Analyze the modal verb should and have to

2.1.2. Specific Objectives:
o Present the use of should and have to
o Explains the use of should and have to

3. Methodology

For the formalization of this work, an exploratory research was carried out, through bibliographic
surveys and examples of practical applications, in order to clarify some misconceptions or solve
concrete needs.
According to GIL (2002, p. 44-45), bibliographic research is developed based on material already
prepared, consisting mainly of books and scientific articles”. The main advantage of
bibliographic research is that it allows the researcher to cover a much wider range of phenomena
than he could research directly. Its purpose is to put the researcher in contact with what has
already been produced and recorded about the research topic. Such advantages reveal the
commitment to research quality. In addition to allowing the survey of research related to the
subject studied, the bibliographic research also allows the theoretical deepening that guides this
research.

1 Advice and Obligations

1.1 The use of should to give advice

‘’Should’’ is used when the speaker wants to make a strong suggestion We use should to give
advice or an opinion. This is not an obligation.

Example. You are sick; I don’t think you should go to work today.

1.1.1 In questions
Questions are usually formed by swapping the subject and the modal verb.

e.g. should I go to hospital?

1.1.2 In negative
Negatives are formed by adding “not” between the modal verb and main verb.

e.g. you should not run a marathon.

Have to for obligations

In English, “have to” is used when talking about obligations or things that are necessary. They
are often used to give important instructions.

Example. You have to rest, or your leg won’t heal.

“Don’t have to” means something is not necessary, or there is no obligation.

You don’t have to come again, your leg is better.

2 SECOND FIELD WORK

 6. Conclusion

The present research work of English Language 1, subordinated to the topic " modal verbs
should and have to" was carried out based on a bibliographic methodology where after the
analysis of several works that deal with this subject I can now conclude that both should and have
to modal verbs. So should is used to give advice and have to used as an obligation. when using
have to in negative it means that its not necessary for someone to do something.
