There are several modal verbs that are used to talk about deduction and probability. The most common verbs are may/ might / will / must / can't.
We use may and might when we think something is possible.
I don't know for sure where James is, but he may / might be in the park. (present)
I am going to be very busy tomorrow, so I may / might not come home for lunch. (future)
They aren't answering the phone. They may / might have gone out. (past)
We use will / won't when we feel certain about something.
Oh, there's someone at the door. It'll be Sam. (present)
Helen's never on time, so I'm sure she'll be late for the match this evening. (future).
Don't phone him at his office. It's eight o'clock, he'll have gone home by now. (past)
We use the modal verbs must and can't when we feel sure about something, and we have some evidence to base this view on. (This is called deduction.) Deductions can be made about past or present events.
Their last CD was awful, so the new one can't be any good either. (present)
You can't have been at the library yesterday - it was closed! (past)
