7186 - MODALS
 
1.
I should´ve done this years ago!
I can change my appearance at will.
I´m sure I must have misunderstood you.
There´s some low cloud we can lose ourselves in! We´re not going through the clouds.
I may be wrong.
Data Resp.: 07/10/2023 13:48:46
Explicação:
In "I must have misunderstood you", the speaker assumes that a misunderstanding must have taken place. It is a
logical deduction based on prior evidence. The other options either refer to advice, possibility or ability.
 
2.
You are allowed not to leave.
You are either not allowed to leave or allowed not to leave.
It is possible that you will not leave.
You are not allowed to leave.
You are obliged to leave.

Modals are often used to convey ideas about time. Mark the alternative in which the modal underlined is typically
and historically associated to the past but used within the excerpt to refer to the present time.
Extrinsic modality refers to the logical probability of a given event. Bearing this in mind, choose the option that
rephrases the fragment below with a modal conveying the highest degree of con�dence.
 
"I think violet is really my color", she said pensively.
In English there are multiword forms such as phrasal modals, pseudo-modals, or quasi-modals whose meanings are
similar to those of true modals. Choose the option in which the statement below is rephrased with its adequate
phrasal equivalent.
 
"We should get out into the garden so we´re ready".
Data Resp.: 07/10/2023 13:50:46
Explicação:
The use of "may" in the negative form with the meaning of permission is ambiguous: both interpretations
presented in alternative "You are either not allowed to leave or allowed not to leave are plausible". Furthermore,
the modal in the sentence in question does not refer to obligation nor possibility.
 
3.
It sealed itself seamlessly so that he could not open it.
Dumbledore might have hoped I would be able to exercise some control over my best friends.
Harry, could I borrow Hedwig?
I can´t give you details here.
He must have sent them.
Data Resp.: 07/10/2023 14:15:22
Explicação:
Even though the modal "could" is often associated with past abilities as opposed to the use of "can", which refers
to present abilities; it is also used in formal requests, referring to the present. In "Harry, could I borrow
Hedwig?", the modal "could" (also associated with the expression of past abilities) is included in a request in the
present.
 
4.
I think violet should be my color.
I think violet might be my color.
I think violet must be my color.
I think violet ought to be my color.
I think violet may be my color.
Data Resp.: 07/10/2023 14:30:53
Explicação:
"Must" and "will" convey modalized certainty, the highest degree of con�dence implied by a modal. Therefore,
the only possible option is "I think violet must be my color" since the other modal verbs either convey possibility
or probability.
 
5.
We have to get out into the garden (...).
The difference in meaning conveyed by different modals can be quite subtle and sometimes only noticeable in the
variety being used, whether British, American, Canadian and so on. Which alternative best explains the difference
between "must" and "have got to" in American English?
Simply put, each modal has a phrasal counterpart. Choose the correct option regarding the de�nition and the use
of pseudo-modals.
Can is usually associated with intrinsic modality. Bearing this in mind, choose the option that best explains the
meaning of "can" in the following excerpt:
 
"Mum", said Ron hopefully, "can I have a new broom?"
We are used to getting out into the garden (...).
We are allowed to get out into the garden (...).
We are able to get out into the garden (...).
We are supposed to get out into the garden (...).
Data Resp.: 07/10/2023 14:36:50
Explicação:
In order to give advice, speakers can resort to the modals "should" and "ought to" or to their phrasal counterpart
"be supposed to". The other phrasal counterparts either convey permission, obligation, past habit, or ability.
 
6.
"Must" invites the interlocutor to face the obligation as a social necessity, while "have got to" depicts the
social necessity as rules imposed by a particular social group.
"Must" is often used to underscore the speakers´ emotions while "have got to" expresses logical deduction.
"Must" and "have got to" are most often used to express logical deduction.
"Must" typically expresses logical deduction, while "have got to" tends to be used to underscore the speaker´s
feelings or the urgency of the situation.
"Must" and "have got to" are most often used to describe a social necessity imposed by a particular group.
Data Resp.: 07/10/2023 14:43:39
Explicação:
In American English, "have got to" or the reduced "gotta" often signals the urgency of the situation and the
emotional charge of the message, while "must" tends to be employed to suggest a logical deduction.
 
7.
Pseudo-modals are multiword forms whose meanings are similar to those conveyed by modals.
"Be supposed to" is the phrasal equivalent of the modal "may".
Pseudo-modals do not require the to-in�nitive to keep them apart from the main verb.
"Be able to" is the phrasal counterpart of "must".
Pseudo-modals do not have to conform with the subject-verb agreement rule.
Data Resp.: 07/10/2023 14:49:32
Explicação:
"Pseudo-modals", also called "phrasal modals", are indeed multi-word forms whose meanings share a lot in
common with the meanings entailed by true modals. Nevertheless, they differ from modals in terms of syntax, in
the sense that they conform to the subject-verb agreement and require the to-in�nitive to keep them apart
from the main verb. What´s more, `be supposed to" is the equivalent of "should", whereas "be able to" shares
with "can" and "could" the idea of ability.
 
8.
Phrasal modals, pseudo-modals, or quasi-modals are multiword forms whose meanings are similar to those of true
modals. Choose the option in which the statement below is rephrased with its adequate phrasal equivalent.
 
"You may retain your wand until your disciplinary hearing on the twelfth of August".
Certain modal verbs are charged with future meaning, such as "will" and "shall".Mark the option in which "shall" is
used to express a prediction.
Request.
Logical probability.
Logical deduction.
Advice.
Ability.
Data Resp.: 07/10/2023 14:52:17
Explicação:
Can, as a modal verb, can be used to refer to ability, requests, prohibition, when in its negative form, and can
even convey possibility at times. In this fragment, however, since the character Ron asks his mother for a new
broom, it performs the function of a request.
 
9.
You are allowed to retain your wand (...).
You have to retain your wand (...).
You are able to retain your wand (...).
You are used to retaining your wand (...).
You aresupposed to retain your wand (...).
Data Resp.: 07/10/2023 14:57:45
Explicação:
In the fragment "you may retain your wand", "may" expresses the notion of permission, also conveyed by the
phrasal equivalent "be allowed to". The other alternatives express ability, advice, obligation and habit.
 
10.
Well... shall I get started then?
Shall we get practising then?
Shall we go up to your of�ce, then, Minister?
Shall we go and �nd a compartment, then?
So I daresay we shall meet again soon enough.
Data Resp.: 07/10/2023 15:00:46
Explicação:
"Shall" in "So I daresay we shall meet again soon enough" could be replaced by the modal "will" and preserve its
predictive tone. That is not the case, though, with the other options, in which "shall" could be replaced either by
"may" or by "let´s".
