Modals of Deduction and Speculation

Modals of deduction and speculation are important in English because they help us express what we think is true or possible based on the evidence we have. At the B1 level, we will focus on using modals such as 'must', 'might', 'could', and 'can't'. These modals help us make guesses about situations or people.

Key Points

  • Modals help express certainty or uncertainty.
  • 'Must' indicates strong certainty, while 'might' and 'could' show possibility.
  • 'Can't' indicates strong disbelief or impossibility.

Advanced Passive Voice

The passive voice is used when the focus is on the action or the recipient of the action rather than on who or what is performing the action. It is important to understand how to form and use the passive voice in various tenses.

Key Points

  • The passive voice emphasizes the action rather than the subject.
  • It is formed using the verb 'to be' and the past participle of the main verb.
  • Different tenses can be used in the passive voice.
