Hi! You’ve got a mistake in the quiz!
“How is the new Radiohead album?” Speculate with 90% certainty in the present.
It could be good.
!!–>I has to be good.<–!! *should be IT because it's a correct answer.*
It might be good.
It may be good.

Other than that, it's very good! Thanks!

In one of your examples you used NOT after MAY. I think you may not be 22. If I use it before the verb THINK will it have the same meaning? I don’t think you may be 22.

ALEX WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN “EXPRESS SPECULATION” AND “EXPRESS POSSIBILITIES” , I AM ASKING THIS QUESTION BECAUSE SOME TEACHERS (JAMES)TAUGHT ABOUT MODALS OF POSIBILITIES http://youtu.be/8zmNJaTDZ6Y AND HE USE THE MODALS WILL, CAN, COULD, MIGHT. MY QUESTION IS : EXPRESS SPECULATION ABOUT SOMETHING HAPPEN IS THE SAME TO EXPRESS POSSIBILITY THAT SOMETHING HAPPEN? , I THINK YES BECAUSE YOU EXPRESS SOMETHING WHICH IS “POSSIBLE” TO HAPPEN , OR THEY (SPECULATION AND POSSIBLILITY) ARE DIFFERENTS AS MODALS ?

RLUIS

Hi Alex, the lesson about speculation is very helpful. Thanks a lot!

Leaning thx

sushilamall

Dear Professor Alex,

The negative forms are not explained in your lesson; the more you have made some mess about forms must vs must not; must vs have not to.

must means command or obligsation;

must not is a prohibition in other words negative command;

when expressing obigatiion using must – the negative form is have not to do sth

That is why your first negative form – must not – is not clear for me.The meaning of it.

Best regards,

MKJMKJ

sir..what’s the difference between (may.might.could)

abdullah.sukkar

thank you Alex …you explaining very simple and perfect i appreciate for your unique training i can to find from your face that you must be very kindness too….but in this lesson i did not understand that you mention less certain 50% …so must be under 50% or at least 50%..?

Thanks a lot

preemy

Dear Alex,
Thank you for your valuable lesson.
I have one question regarding a difference of a degree of certainty between should and other verbs you explained this lesson. According to your previous lesson referring to “should and must”, you mentioned that should is also used to talk about certainty. So, I am wondering how degree of certainty “should” have, compared with other verbs such as must, have to, or might.
Thank you.

Marie Park

thank you Alex, I did not understand the third question.
