Abstract

In this paper we deal with Modality in French language textbooks used in Elementary and High School in Macapá - Amapá State. We have analyzed the modality into three classes: verb, adverbial and adjective as the complement of a link verb. The study shows lack in modality approach, an important category in linguistic analysis, so that students are encouraged to think about language in use and to position themselves as authors of their texts.
