Explore PricingUse modals with passive verbs to focus on the action, not the person doing it. Perfect for exams like IELTS and PTE.
Passive with modals lets you talk about actions without naming who does them. It uses modal verb + be + past participle.
You use it to:
Think: Modal → Be → Past (M-B-P). It's like a chain: modal starts it, be links it, past finishes it!
Frequent in Writing Task 2 for making recommendations or agreeing with solutions.
Use for discussing general advice, rules, or obligations without focusing on the person.
Use for making polite suggestions about how problems can be solved.
Recognize passive modals in instructions or rules during academic lectures.
