Modals In English: Might & Could / Talking About Possibilities
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- Let take an in-depth look at the use of two modals in English: Might and could. These modal verbs are used to talk about possibilities. In this lesson, I will cover past, present, future possibilities, and there are lots of examples to help you to understand the use of these modals.
Do let me know in the comments section if you have any questions about this, and feel free to leave feedback or suggestions for future lessons.

Thanks teacher
Great lesson!
Thank for the effort
Greetings from Brazil 👋
nice explanation
well done
Interesting video Anna. 'Life is full of possibilities, might as well say that.' I liked this video yes!!!!👍😅
I might have been over the moon had I had a chance to watch such videos some 20 years ago. Though my son might be watching one of these at the moment which might improve his grammar.
thanks a lot . it was a nice "might" lesson . there 's also "maybe" "may be" "perhaps" and " i think " in the same weight ;-)
Awesome video
One day I was running up a hill and down a beautiful pathway. The wild flowers were blooming with their fresh armorers dancing around within the air. I decided to pick three then continued to run down the dirt path, paved with neat brown gravel. Suddenly I saw a sigh saying 'please do not pick the flowers!' It was at this point I thought that picking the three might have been a bad idea. I continued to run and think in the future it might be a good idea for me to be more aware of signs, gaining my bearings. However I noticed the signs were very sparse so I presented a landscape development project for this running area. There I stood and said 'It could be a good idea to install more signs in the Oslo running park, stating more clearer not to pick the flowers. Furthermore we should make it a beautiful nature reserve so everyone is automatically aware of where they are, preventing any mistaken pickings, as one might very well do, due to the sparsely placed signs. The process of making the signs will be from recyclable wood to ensure the Eco-friendliness of this run way.' There were 30000 people there and 28142 agreed, gaining the majority. Now this random runway is a beautiful nature reserve with a sign installed per meter, making anyone aware of where they are and what not to pick. That was my short story yes!!!!👍😅
👌👌❤️❤️❤️
Awesome!
Very easy lessons. But Knowlge Very good
He might has learned history of British because he knows everything about it.
I might be going to party after work.
It’s so cool whole day it might snows at night.
Dear Anna, my name is Merhawit I have started to watch your videos around two weeks now, but it is very useful for me. Iam going to do the homework now. But iam really appreciate you if you correcte me. 1)past tenes, I might not walked down to the park, the weather looks heavy wind. 2)present tenes, The buses are very crowding might the tube station is out of service. 3)future tenes, I might have see you during the summer on the beach with the sunshine ☀.

I might have been more fluent in English if I had had an English teacher like you..
I might be dreaming but I think I'm in love with you..😀😀
Nice one ever
Dear Anna, I've got a question. Where is the difference between "I might be ordering pizza for dinner" and "I might have a salad for lunch". Or, "I might watch a film later." vs. "I might be watching a film later." Can I use these interchangeably?
MIGHT
I might not be perfect
But I'm giving everything I've got to be the best I can be
COULD
I wish I could be a better me for everyone on this planet
Love from India 😘
It’s been a rather stressful week so far.
I might have been too worried about trivial things and forgotten to enjoy life! I might be reading some funny stories before next week begins... however, it still worries me a bit at the prospect that I might meet the colleagues I detest. 😖
Hi Anna greetings

You might have forgotten to give us an example to use might in past possibility for a third person .

I might be wrong , but I tried to do my homework. 🙂

Can you use "may" in the place of "might"
I might have learned it before, but it wasn't so well explained as today.

It might rain today. If it rains, I might go outside to walk; otherwise, I might stay at home. However, I might have forgotten to tell you that today is bright sunny day, and there is very less chance of precipitation. You might be understanding the use of 'might' -- and I might be your teacher also.
Yeah, it's holiday and now 6 pm. I spent it whole doing almost nothing. But the day could have been different. I might have gone for fishing with my friends. They had fun and caught few big fishes. ....Feeling bore. Okay, what can I do now? I might go for a walk to the park. Who knows, there I might see any of my friends and gossip a bit!
What is with „may be“?
-Sarah, come on! We have to go to the airport. We might miss the plane if you don't hurry up.
- Oh my God! You're right we might be late....But, where is my bag? I might have left it at home, I almost sure!
Is that a mini story? Greetings from Valencia and thanks for all!!!

If I hadn't subscribed to your channel, I might be learning English with some boring (dull, vapid, hollow, tedious etc.) youtube channels ;) Fortunately, I had :) Actually, I'm used to conditionals (including mixed ones) with "could" and "would", so I'm afraid that I might have made a mistake in the 1st sentence...
As an idea for the next accents videos invite someone from Texas, eventually a cowboy haha
