Этот вопрос мне кажется не корректным. Все меняется, и в английских
школах тоже. Но вопрос был в одном из тестов.
А теперь продолжим сражаться с модальными глаголами.
MAY/ HAVE/ AND MIGHT /HAVE/
YOU ARE LOOKING FOR JACK. NOBODY KNOWS FOR SURE WHERE HE
IS BUT YOU GET SOME SUGGESTIONS: He may be in his
office= perhaps he is in his office. He
might be having lunch= perhaps he is having lunch. Ask Ann. She might
know.= perhaps Ann knows.
We use MAY and MIGHT to say
that smth. is possible. There
is no important difference between MAY and MIGHT.
He may be in his office .= He might be in his office.
MAY NOT or MIGHT NOT.
Jack might not be in his office.=perhaps he isn't in his office.
To say what was possible in the past , we use
MAY HAVE /DONE/ and MIGHT HAVE / DONE/.
-I WONDER WHY ARM DIDN'T ANSWER THE DOORBELL.
-Well, I suppose she may have been in the bath. = perhaps she
was in the bath.
- Why didn't he say' hello' when he passed us in the street?
- He might have been day-dreaming.
You can use COULD instead of
may or might. But
with could the possibility is smaller. Where's
Jack? I'm not sure,. He coudn't be in
his office. I suppose, but he's not usually there at this
time.
