(May =permission): MAY I come in?
4.
I MIGHT guide a spaceship, if I were an astronaut (it is highly difficult either to
guide a spaceship or to be an astronaut)
5. SHALL: often found in suggestions, such as "Shall we go?" "Shall" is also frequently
used in promises or voluntary actions. In formal English, the use of "shall" to describe future
events often expresses inevitability or predestination. "Shall" is much more commonly heard in
British English than in American English.
SHOULD : It is most commonly used to make recommendations or give advice. It can also
be used to express obligation as well as expectation. WHEN YOU VISIT ARICA, YOU SHOULD GO
6.
TO LA LISERA BEACH!!
7.
MUST : It expresses certainty. It can also be used to express necessity or strong
recommendation: Uso simple también “deber”
 This must be the right address! CERTAINTY
 You must take some medicine for that cough. STRONG RECOMMENDATION
 Students must pass an entrance examination to study at this school. NECESSITY (DEBER)
8. "Ought to" used to advise or make recommendations. "Ought to" also expresses
assumption or expectation as well as strong probability.
You ought to stop smoking. RECOMMENDATION (PERO PORQUE DEBES· HACERLO)
