OBJECTIVE

Modal verbs are a part of the larger category called auxiliary verbs which are verbs that cannot be used on their own. They need to be accompanied by another (main) verb. Sometimes modal verbs are called modal auxiliaries.Modal verbs are used to express ability, obligation, permission, assumptions, probability and possibility, requests and offers, and advice. Each modal verb can have more than one meaning which depends on the context of that sentence (or question).

MY FIRST THANKSGIVING

Americans celebrate Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday of November. Children don’t go to school and businesses close for four days. It is a special day for families, and people travel great distances just to be with their families for this occasion. This tradition started with the “Pilgrim Fathers”. They were the founders of a colony in North America. These people were Puritans, they were against the Church of England and they suffered religious persecution in England, so they wanted to start a new life. So, on the 6th September 1620, 102 men, women, and children left Plymouth in a ship called Mayflower. The voyage wasn’t easy, but finally, they arrived in America on the 11th of December 1620. They landed on the northwest coast and they called this place Plymouth. But it was winter, and there wasn’t much food. They immediately began to build small houses, but it was too late to grow crops. The winter was long and half of them died. In the spring, native Americans called Squanto helped them how to grow corn and how to hunt. Soon, the pilgrims and the Wampanoag Native Americans became friends. The pilgrims grew crops and that summer harvest was excellent. By November 1621, everyone had food and a home. There was hope for the future. Then, the governor of the Pilgrim’s colony decided to celebrate with dinner because he wanted to thank God. That was the first Thanksgiving dinner, and it continued for three days. Today the traditional Thanksgiving meal is similar to the first. People eat roast turkey with cranberry sauce, potatoes, and pumpkin pie. Many organizations also prepare a free meals for poor people in their towns or cities. In New York, there are also parades and more than two million people go and see it every year.

THANKS!
