unit 9 The hard sell

modals

There are three modals you can use when you are not 100% certain about something: could - may - might.

may = in Dutch "misschien". There is a reasonable change that it will happen. May is rather formal and not used very often.

could = in Dutch "zou kunnen". There is a good change that it will happen; perhaps 50-50%

might = in Dutch "heel misschien". There is a only slim chance that it will happen

modals

When you are 100% sure that something will happen: must

when you are 100% sure that something will not happen: can't
