Read and summarise may / might: 当我们想表达可能发生某事以及某人可能做某事时，可以用may / might表示。 在表示现在或将来的可能情况时，might表示的可能性比may表示的可能性要小一些。 can / could: can和could除了表示“能够，可以”等意义之外，还可以表示对现在或将来的推测，意为“会，可能”。但can表示推测时，往往用于否定句和疑问句。用于疑问句时，can比could表示的可能性要大；用于否定句时，cannot (can’t)表示“不可能”。could则可用于肯定句、否定句和疑问句。 must: must也可以表示猜测，意为“一定，肯定”，通常只用于肯定句。 Read and summarise must may can / may Complete the sentences with must, may or can must may can can’t can Look at the pictures and complete the dialogues with the correct form of the modal verbs Create a dialogue and role-play.
