Modals of Possibility

Modals of Present Possibility


  • Modal verbs as Might, May, Could and Must are different ways to say maybe or we use it when we want to make a guess about something.
      Examples:
  1. She might be at home.
  2. I may be late.
  3. The keys could be in the car.
  4. You must go to the doctor.
  • Could and can are used to ask questions about present possibility. Might is very uncommon. Use be in short answers to questions containing be.
       Example: - Could she be working?     She might be.

                       - Can it be true?  It must not be.
  • Will and won't  when we are very sure.
        - They will be at home now.
  • Should | Shouldn't are used when we want to make an assumption about something that is probably true. Also we used it when we want to give an advise. 
         -You shouldn't do that, it's dangerous.
         - My husband should be there by now.
