These versatile elements convey concepts of possibility, necessity, ability, obligation, permission, willingness, or expectation.

In this comprehensive course, you will delve into the usage and nuances of the active and passive voices in English. Understanding when and how to use each voice is essential for effective communication. Through engaging lessons, interactive exercises, and practical examples, you will develop a solid grasp of the active and passive voices, including their applications in different contexts. The active voice is used when the subject does the action. A man delivered a pizza. The passive voice is used when the subject is the recipient of the action. A pizza was delivered. Is it always necessary to mention the “doer” of the action? The thief was arrested. Why do we sometimes emphasize the recipient of the action? In this course, the use of each voice is explained in detail.
The twelve verb tenses in English will be covered in this course. The three time references include the present, the past and the future. Each time reference is divided into four aspects: the simple, the continuous, the perfect and the perfect continuous. Continuous forms are also known as progressive forms. The three moods covered in this course are the present subjunctive, the unreal past (also known as the past subjunctive) and the imperative form. Several verb phrases are also included such as "used to," "have got" and "there be."
Inversion is a powerful linguistic tool that allows for sentence restructuring to emphasize specific elements within a sentence. This course delves into the fascinating world of inversion occurring after negative expressions, such as "never," "not only," and "little." In this course, you will explore the various ways in which inversion can be used to enhance the impact of negative statements, reinforce restrictions, and add emphasis to a sentence. By understanding and mastering the principles of inversion after negative expressions, you will develop a sophisticated and nuanced command of English grammar.

Semi-modal verbs include the following: Dare, ought to, had better, have to, need, used to and would rather. Other modal expressions include the following: To be able to, to be due to, to be allowed to, etc.
