ADVERB
S
MODAL
ADVERBS
Modal Adverbs are used to
modify specific verbs that consist of
a linking verb (verb of being) and
sometimes another verb.
Example of modal adverbs:
probably, possibly, evidently,
certainly, surely, undoubtedly,
seriously, clearly, obviously,
usually
Example:
1. I will surely watch the Avengers
movie.
2. It will probably rain this afternoon.
3. Ruben must seriously exert more
effort in his studies to pass the final
quarter.
Modal adverbs are adverbs that
modify or intensify modals. So, it
should be paired with a modal.

The police should impose rules without
bias.
Example 2:
The police should definitely impose rules
without bias.

Modals and
Modal Adverbs
in
Argumentative
Modal verbs and modal adverbs
are used in writing argumentative essays
or text to prove and to have a strong
stand in a position you believed in.
 Modals are used to express the
different degrees of certainty
or modality of your opinions
or argument.
 The level of modality used to express
your opinion must match the level of
certainty provided by your evidence. It
might be appropriate to make a high
modality claim because evidence, from
multiple sources, backs up your
opinion.
What is MODALITY?
 It is used in writing to express
how definite you are about
something.
Degrees of Modality
1. STRONG
- uses the adverbs always and
never, evidently, surely, seriously
and undoubtedly
Example:
1. People should always wash their
hands before eating.
2. You will never graduate if you
will not study hard.
Degrees of Modality
2. MODERATE
- uses often, rarely, usually,
sometimes, frequently, and
occasionally
Example:
1. Mary rarely goes out to party.
2. Arnold often takes a bath.
Some adverbs can be used to describe how
likely it is that something will happen.
These are called ‘adverbs of possibility’.
Some of the common adverbs of possibility are:
certainly definitely maybe possibly
obviously perhaps probably clearly
