Grammar B2 Flashcards
We use modal verbs(words like must, might, could) to express necessity, possibility or probability .
We can use modal verbsto talk about how sure we are that something is true or not and make deduction about the pastand present.
Must - indicates certainty ( +)
Can’t- indicate certainty (-)
Could might may -indicates possibility, but with some doubt.
Using the modal verbs “ can’t “ indicate that the speaker is sure his statement is not true.
When we want to make deduction(вывод, заключение) about past events, we use the following construction. :
My payment must have failed = i am sure that my payment failed
They might have hacked his account = It’s possible that they hacked his account.
She can’t have lost her card= I am sure that she hasn’t lost her card .
