Unit 1: MODAL VERBS

Nowadays, we have many platforms where we can express ourselves, our opinions and emotions. However, it is important for you to know how to express feelings, emotions and opinions in a polite way, because, as active citizens we must be conscious of our rights and obligations and know how to complain or request.
