2. MODALS
Could/couldn’t
Could similar to can because we use it to express ability, possibility and permission and to
make requests and suggestions. However, we use could slightly differently:
• ability in the past: I couldn’t understand what the teacher was asking us.
• hypothetical possibility: I think it could rain later
• Asking permission: Could i use your laptop? ( can is also possible here)
• Masking requests: could you help me with my homework? (can is also possible here)
• Making suggestions: If it’s a nice day, we could go to the beach. ( Can is also possible
here)
Note: Remember that for making suggestions / giving advice, we often use the modal verb
should
May & might
These modals express the idea that “ it is possible” and are very similar. However, in some
situations only may is possible:
• hypothetical possibility: i think may/might rain later. ( Could is also possible here)
• asking permission: May i go to the toilet? (could and can are also possible here)
• expressing permission: Students may not run inside the school building. (Can’t/
cannot are also possible here)

brackets to help you
Can can’t could couldn’t
