About This Resource
This C1 resource explores how speakers and writers limit, qualify, approximate, and soften claims with precision. It develops controlled use of modal expressions, adverbs, quantifiers, reporting verbs, clause frames, and approximation so that caution reflects the evidence rather than vague or automatic softening.
What You’ll Learn
• Use hedges to limit the scope or strength of a claim accurately.
• Distinguish controlled approximation from vague wording.
• Choose tentative language for evidence, disagreement, and professional interaction.
• Edit overconfident or overhedged statements so that stance matches the available support.
