Unit 9: The hard sell

Unit 9.1

Grammar: Modals of speculation and deduction (1-6)

Vocabulary: collocations (7-8)

Do all exercises!

Modals

of speculation (gissen/raden)

of deduction (afleiden)

Modals (p. 170)

There are three modals you can use when you are not 100% certain about something (so you speculate): 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 chance 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

That car must be doing over 100 kph at least!

It must be possible nowadays to find that information online.

When you are 100% sure that something will not happen: can't/couldn't

You can't be serious!

They couldn't possibly be here before lunchtime, it's a four hour drive!

Modals in the past

may have + past participle

might have + past participle

could have+ past participle

must have + past participle

can't have + past participle

couldn't have + past particple

(past participle = verb + -ed/ 3rd irregular)

Grammar extra: order of adjectives (p170)

Adjectives that express opinions always come before adjectives to express descriptions. This only when more than 1 adjective is used:

- the brilliant German scientist Albert Einstein.

When using more than 1 descriptive adjective, 

they follow this order:

(opinion -) size - shape - age - colour - nationality - material

- a small oval silver necklace

- the tall young Australian conservationist
