Little Story About My Life

February 8, 1993, around 03.00 am I was born into this world. I am the third child of four siblings. I was given the name Tertiera nurariefani azizah. Many say, my name is unique. My father gave a matching name for her four children. Big brother named Primera, my sister called Secaundena, I own Tertiera, and my sister Quartetsya. These names symbolize our birth order. Tertiera own means, three.

Currently, I'm 21 years old, I studied at University of Gunadarma. I was very determined to be able to pass this year, because I had to help my mother. During this time, she is working hard alone to finance my college. My father has been dead since 2008. At that time, just four days after the 15th birthday. Six months before he died, my father was convicted of lung cancer stage 3B. Since then, she is trying to make a living for us alone. At that time we were all still students.

I feel now, it's my turn to help her. I wanted to graduate from college of Gunadarma. Actually, first I want to be able to study at state university with majoring in architecture. I want to be an engineer, or at least become an interior designer. I'm very interested in building an image with a pattern perspective. In fact I often imagine to design my home. Designing porch, living room, bedroom, bathroom up. However, all that I have not been able to accomplish. Right now I'm actually studying at the faculty of economics majoring in management. In fact, during high school, I came out of science majors. All kinds of tests have I tried, from SNMPTN, UMB, until the test held by the university. But I do not qualify. But I'm grateful today to attend the University Gunadarma, because it must be fate that I live.

Modal Auxiliaries

Modals auxiliary verbs are a very complex area of English grammar, so in this quick guide we will not be able to go into much detail, but we will at least get an overall idea of what their function is in a sentence. In an earlier section of this guide we looked at how the verb phrase can be broken down into its constituent parts and we noted that one of these parts was called a modal auxiliary verb.

 Can
 Be able to  
 Can't
 Could
 May
 Might
 Must
 Have to
 Need to
 Needn't
 Musn't
 Don't have to  
 Should
 Ought to

Examples of modal auxiliary verbs
Before we look at some of the possible meanings of modal auxiliary verbs we need to have some idea of what constitutes a modal in English and where they occur in a sentence. A few more examples should enable us to answer the second of these points fairly quickly and easily - the modals are in bold:
  • He should be here by now.
  • I could swim quite well when I was younger.
  • You mustn't blame yourself for this.
  • You might have discussed it with me first.
  • You can't be serious!
  • Could you open the window please?
  • Must you make so much noise?
  • She had to take her brother along with her.
  • We ought to be going.
