Os modal verbs são palavras utilizadas juntamente com
outros verbos para acrescentar e expressar diferentes
ideias, tais como possibilidade, permissão, obrigação e
conselho. Sua forma básica de utilização é:
sujeito + modal verb + verbo na forma base.

Veja os exemplos:
Rebeca should watch this new play.
You must go to your seat. Continua...
Nesta aula, vamos ver os usos dos modal verbs should, could e must.
O verbo should é utilizado para expressar ideias como conselho,
sugestão e probabilidade. Além de também ser usado para dar uma
opinião:

They should be back in the next week. (Probabilidade)

If you ask me, film makers should embrace more
cultural and ethnic diversity in their productions. (Opinião)
You should see that movie. (Sugestão)
You should watch the play before the movie. (Conselho)
Continua...
Por sua vez, o verbo could pode ser utilizado para expressar ideias de
capacidade, possibilidade e pedido:

He could ride a bike when he was 5. (Capacidade)

Could you do me a favor? (Pedido)
She could go to the movies. (Possibilidade)

Perceba que, em sua forma interrogativa, o modal

verb é posicionado antes do sujeito da oração.

Continua...
Já o verbo must é utilizado para expressar um dever ou uma
necessidade. Também pode expressar uma dedução, algo que pode vir
a se tornar real, e, em frases negativas, pode indicar uma proibição:

She must stop drinking coffee. (Obrigação)

He must be watching a movie in his room. (Dedução)
You must not speak during the show. (Proibição)

Na forma negativa, basta acrescentar a palavra not

após o modal verb.

In pairs, read the text and take notes of four pieces

Diversity in theater and cinema has grown significantly in

recent years. This is due to several factors. The rise of
social media has made it easier for people to share their
experiences. This has led to a greater demand for
diverse representation in art. Also, the growing number
of women and people of color working in these
productions has fostered new perspectives in different
contexts. Recently, it is common to find films and plays
that have a diverse cast. The progress made in recent
years is encouraging, but there is still much to be done.
