I woke up feeling tired. I might be dehydrated.

Astri

Then you should drink much water.

Why is “could” false for no. 7? I thought “could” and “must” are both true…

Astri

Because they drank a lot last night, they must have been hangover. Cuz they drank a lot. you can’t drink too much and not get a hangover xD

Blizzard

The question is which one express certainty, and “could” expresses possibility, so it is wrong.

Mohammad

The 7 task is:
“Fill in the blank to express certainty”

Certainty:
-must,
Possibility:
-could,
-can,
-might,
-may,

Besides there is word “today” at the end.
Caould is past simple of “can”

Hi Dear Jade;

I have been away for ages since like three years ago, and I am so pleased to get back here again.
I have just encountered with an unexpected grammatical point in an essay received 7.5 in IELTS Academic, which I have not seen it anywhere yet.
The sentence is: “Regarding motivation, for instance, the museum cards, which are a moderately new trend, offering an entrance to national museums in a country and is valid for one year at a time.”
The strange part that comes to me distinguish is ” and is valid” which I guess that placed instead of ” which is”. I would gently appreciate in advance if you provide me with an assist on this.

Regards;

Hi Jade,

Hello :) thank you for having done this lesson
I have a doubt concerning one sentence about “she would come”
“Someone is at the door. It _________ be Kate. She said she would come by sometime this week.”
Shouldn’t be..she would have come? (if not why)

Hey Fagolo, are you really from Finland? Woow I have always been there, do you think it is kind of easy to reside there permanetly? Mexico is great but certainly, love that contry. Can you speak a bit about it?

Evan Hersson

Good morning Jade.
Thanks so much for the great lesson.

ed1207

Jade, I like your accent, sometimes it seems difficult to understand but it’s nice. So I would like to request you whether it is good to say or not. Umm, I learned how to use must, may, might and can to show deduction in English but could you provide us other ways of using above modal verbs in different situation of our daily life. Good day!

Shreepepe

Thank you for this lesson on modal verbs in certainty and in possibility sentences. I am grateful for getting full marks on Tests. However, I can’t make sentences perfectly in writing. Please help me up with which video should I watch?

BeAlive

thanks. 7/8

Amira Abdulaziz

Might it be possible to clarify the difference between: everything but…, anything but…, all but…?

Is there a sort of academy that teaches broken English? people in the real life don’t speak like you guys in these videos. Just in formal TV or documentaries here in Britain.

TZ ZT

Thank you, that was helpful!

rita bezditko

Thank you Jade. I got 5 of 8.
