Why Analogies Matter in Grammar? 
Analogies help shape meaning beyond basic action. For Grade 6 learners, this topic is important because: 
1. Modals express possibility, necessity, permission, and ability. 
2. They always follow the base form of the verb. 
3. They support polite and structured communication. 
4. They are used in formal writing, dialogue, and everyday conversation.
