Modalverben der Vermutung
Modalverben können zeigen, wie sicher du dir bei etwas bist, basierend auf dem, was du siehst oder weißt.
- must = ich bin sicher, dass es wahr ist: The lights are on. They must be at home. (Das Licht brennt. Sie müssen zu Hause sein.)
- can't = ich bin sicher, dass es nicht wahr ist: That can't be John. He's in Paris. (Das kann nicht John sein. Er ist in Paris.) (cannot und couldn't funktionieren auch.)
- might, may oder could = es ist möglich, aber ich bin nicht sicher: She might be at the gym. (Sie ist vielleicht im Fitnessstudio.)
Das Gegenteil von must ist hier can't, nicht mustn't: He can't be tired (nicht He mustn't be tired). Nach diesen Modalverben folgt die Grundform (be, need) oder be + -ing (It must be raining).
Beispiele
- She must be very happy.
- It can't be true!
- He might be late tonight.
- They may be at the beach.
- That could be the answer.
