Must, Can't,

May, Might

and Could

by Derrie Manerich

​MUST

​We use MUST to talk about something we assume is true.

​Something that I'm almost CERTAIN OF.

​

​Example:

​

She is crying. She must be sad.

​Our class started and our teacher is not here. She must be late.

​CAN'T

​We use CAN'T for something I believe is IMPOSSIBLE.

​

​Example:

​

Our teacher can't be late. She always arrives early.

​He can't be American. he doesn't speak English.

MAY, MIGHT, COULD

They are SIMILAR and mean: it's possible.

​

​Examples:

​

​She might go to the mall tonight.

​I may study tomorrow afternoon for my exam on Wednesday.

​He could eat pizza tonight.
