I am waiting for Julie with another friend, David.

I ask: 'Where is Julie?'

David guesses:

She must be on the bus. (I'm fairly sure this is a good guess)

She might come soon. (maybe)

She could be lost. (maybe)

She may be in the wrong room. (maybe)

She can't be at home. (I'm fairly sure this isn't true)
