Modal Verbs

We have been learning to use modal verbs for persuasion.

You must approach this island because you might want to visit the beautiful pale blue Ocean. Wouldn’t you like to dip your toes in the shimmering chilly ocean?

Do you want to visit a different place now. Let’s go to the dark, gloomy and scary cave. You must come in, when you go deeper it gets scarier – you may go now but I wanted to show you.

We are visiting the last place now. Do you want to know where we are going? To the forest, you shouldn’t miss this because there are delicious coconuts. We need to get food or drink, we might survive, we might not.

    If I were to write this again I would change my modal verbs and I won’t use must all the time in my writing.

    I liked the way you used the rhetorical question ‘Wouldn’t you like to dip your toes in the shimmering chilly ocean?’ because it really makes me want to go and the great adjectives you used. You can improve on the fact that in the last paragraph your suddenly saying ‘we’ not you.
