Do you think that websites like Facebook take away too much of your privacy?
AS I SEE IT....
Day 1
We can use modal verbs for deduction – guessing if something is true using the available information. The modal verb we choose shows how certain we are about the possibility. This page focuses on making deductions about the present or future.
P1
We use must when we feel sure that something is true or it's the only realistic possibility.
Must
-This must be her house. I can see her car in the garage.
-He must live near here because he always walks to work.
-Come inside and get warm. You must be freezing out there!
The only people who need privacy are people who are doing something illegal. Do you agree or disagree? Why?
Q
We use can't when we feel sure that something is not possible.
Can't
