00:10	anger . Like today , we're going to look at
00:13	four model verbs . Can could may and might will
00:18	start by looking at their formulation briefly , and then
00:22	we'll move on to their usage . As you know
00:24	, each model verb has one or several specific functions
00:28	in the language , and therefore it's important that you
00:32	know the usage very well . By the end of
00:34	the lesson , you'll have some clear guidelines on how
00:37	to use can could , may and might . Today's

01:11	. So when you're ready , we can begin with
01:14	today's modal verbs . Multiple laps can could may might
01:24	let's start with formulation . All model vibes have the
01:30	following features in common . They're always followed by the
01:35	infinitive without too . They're the same for all the
01:41	pronouns they do not need auxiliaries . They take direct
01:50	negative aunt question forms on Finally , they never combine
01:57	with another model Vap . Let's look at some common
02:04	mistakes . A very common mistake is using an infinitive
02:12	with to after a model . Remember that models take
02:16	the infinitive without too I can sing . Uh huh
02:25	. She could run fast . Second common mistake is
02:35	conjugating for he she and it adding s to your
02:40	web . Remember that models are the same for old
02:44	pronounce So it's she can swim . It might rain
02:59	right . The third category of mistakes is using an
03:03	auxiliary with the modal verb motor verbs take direct questions
03:09	and negative forms . So the correct question is ,
03:16	can you do this ? The correct negative is he
03:25	may not like it on DFO . Finally , as
03:31	I just said , modal verbs do not combine with
03:35	each other . So for this sentence you can just
03:40	keep the modal verb can she can come tomorrow All
03:47	he was a synonym for can and keep will .
03:51	She will be able to come tomorrow . Right then
03:57	let's look at the usage of each of these model
04:00	verbs . Starting with can the first usage is to
04:05	express an ability or lack of ability in the present
04:10	or future . For example , I can see you
04:15	at 3 p.m. Tomorrow . Can you manage that ?
04:21	Or they cannot dance or they can't dance . The
04:30	second usage of Can is giving or not giving permission
04:36	. For example , you can use my office .
04:40	Oh , you cannot smoke here . You can't smoke
04:45	here . You will see later that in orderto ask
04:51	for permission we use the model may moving on to
04:58	Could the first usage is again ability or lack of
05:03	ability . But in the past , for example ,
05:09	I could read without glasses . Last year I could
05:16	not sleep last night . I couldn't sleep last night
05:22	, right ? The second common usage off could is
05:25	for making a request . In this case , it's
05:30	always in the question form . For example , could
05:34	you repeat that , please ? Could we have a
05:39	break , please ? On the third usage of could
05:46	ISS making a suggestion in this case Could is only
05:50	used in the affirmative . What do you suggest we
05:56	have for dinner ? We could have fish , right
06:06	? Moving on to May . Now , as I've
06:09	just mentioned , we use may toe ask for permission
06:14	for example , may I use your pen , Maybe
06:20	have a look and to remind you to give permission
06:26	or not to give permission , We use can as
06:30	we just saw . The second usage of May is
06:37	to indicate a strong possibility in the present or future
06:42	. For example , it may happen again . She
06:48	may not accept the offer , and finally , let's
06:56	look at might Might is also used to express a
07:00	possibility in the present or future . And it's slightly
07:04	weaker than May , so we can also say it
07:10	might happen again . We can also use could but
07:16	May and might are more common for possibilities . She
07:24	might not accept . The offer we do not use
07:29	could in the negative for a possibility . And finally
07:37	, the second usage of might is a possibility in
07:40	the past . In this case , it's followed by
07:44	half done . He might have missed the strain .
07:51	Once again . You can also use could he could
07:55	have missed his train , but not in the negative
08:00	. I might not have managed to convince her just
08:05	a little note on possibilities . May can also be
08:09	used to show a possibility in the past , but
08:12	it is less common than might and could , so
08:17	you could hear he might have missed the strain .
08:20	He could have Mr Strain , or he may have
08:22	missed his train . However , you must avoid using
08:28	may in a third conditional sentence . So in this
08:33	sentence , if I had studied more , you can
08:37	only say I would have passed my test . I
08:41	might have passed my test or I could have passed
08:45	my test . Avoid using May and one more thing
08:55	. We tend to overuse the model verb can in
09:00	very informal contexts . We tend to use can instead
09:04	off the appropriate modal verb . Although this is acceptable
09:09	, it's always best to use the correct modal verb
09:12	informal situations , and particularly in exams . Let's look
09:18	at some examples for a request in an informal situation
09:24	you might hear . Can you open the door ?
09:28	However , the correct model is , Could could you
09:34	open the door asking for permission once again in an
09:41	informal , friendly context , you may hear , can
09:46	I use the phone ? But the correct model here
09:50	is May . May I use the phone to make
09:57	a suggestion you might hear we can meet next week
10:03	, but as you have seen , the correct model
10:05	here is could we could meet next week . And
10:13	finally for a possibility . In the present or the
10:16	future , it can happen again . But as we've
10:22	just seen , the better models are . It may
10:27	happen again . Strong possibility , or it might or
10:32	could happen again . Okay , It's time for our
10:37	gap filling exercise in this exercise . I'd like you
10:42	to choose among the four models we've just looked at
10:46	. Can could may or might . Let's begin .
10:56	You speak German . Can you speak German ? Yes
11:05	, I Yes , I can . I speak it
11:13	fluently . When we lived in Germany , I could
11:20	speak it fluently when we lived in Germany . Why
11:26	do you ask ? I need this letter translated into
11:31	drama . Do you think you do it ? Do
11:40	you think you can do it ? Let me see
11:47	. Yes , I be able to I might be
11:55	able to It take a little time , though .
12:04	It could take a little time though . And of
12:10	course I need a dictionary too . I may need
12:18	a dictionary too . I borrow yours . May I
12:27	borrow yours ? Of course . Oh , wait .
12:35	My sister have taken it . My sister might have
12:44	taken it . Let me go and have a look
12:51	. No , it's here . You borrow it ,
12:57	you can borrow it . Oh , yes . Your
13:02	sister is a German teacher . You have asked her
13:12	. You could have asked her . She's on holiday
13:18	at the moment . And this . Wait . This
13:26	can't wait . I need it for tomorrow . I
13:36	not be able to do it for tomorrow . I
13:42	might not be able to do it for tomorrow ,
13:47	but I do it for Wednesday . But I can

14:04	to me when you have finished . Could you email
14:12	it to me when you have finished ? Sure ,
14:21	right . That's the end of the gap filling exercise
14:24	and our lesson on these models . As you know
