Expressing Modality 1Forms:I would I may I might I can I could I must What did I knew: Well, I guess, something. I'm using these forms in my native language. But during the entry test I was a bit confused. I haven't understood what I should write into the gaps. My model: System has three questions: Is the speaker referring to any real life actions / states / phenomena he/she wants to present as true? (Reality) How sure is the speaker? (Sureness) And how distant is the action for the speaker? (Closeness to speaker) We had a chat session about grammar. We've discussed the first question. And the conclusion of 2 hour long talk was that modal verbs never present any action as true, modal verbs are always speakers perseption. So, one question's out. My model looks something like that: comming soon. I'm not sure about two parameters yet I would I may I might I can I could I must |
