About This Resource

This B1–B2 resource organizes familiar modal and probability expressions into a broader system of commitment. It distinguishes fact, strong inference, expected or probable results, and open possibility while emphasizing that evidence and context matter more than memorized percentages.

What You’ll Learn

• Distinguish facts from inferences and uncertain conclusions.
• Use must and can’t/couldn’t for strong deductions.
• Use should, likely, and probably for expected or probable outcomes.
• Use may, might, and could when more than one outcome remains open.
