modal verbs song
 
Hope you are all having a great Sunday!!
 
Next week I will revise the topic modal verbs with my pre-FCE students. Can you suggest me any advance song dealing with this topic? Apart from songs, can you suggest me an entertaining method to approach modals to my students?
 
Thanks in advance.

"Should I stay or should I go?" by the Clash as far as "should" is concerned. My older students definitely enjoy rock songs and because this is a classic song they might hear it on the radio and sing along. Of course if the school is conservative, don �t try it.
 "Come what may" from Moulin Rouge soundtrack to explain "may". I did that to my students on Valentine �s Day.
