Слайд 2Modals of deduction
We use the modal verbs
might, may and could
+ an infinitive form without to when we think it is possible that something is true.
We use must when we are sure it is true and can’t when we are sure it isn’t true.
Слайд 3'intonation'
If you stress may, might or could it sounds less probable.
It could be mango juice. (less likely)
It could be mango juice. (more likely)
Слайд 4We also use may/might + be + -ing for something happening
right now or a possible future arrangement.
That might be Mum phoning from Bali.
She might be going to Australia.
Слайд 5If you are talking about possibility in the past you need
the modal + have + past participle.
She might have taken those photos in China.
I may have thrown it away by mistake.
Слайд 6
We don’t use could not to express probability in the present and future.
I couldn’t go
to the match tomorrow.
