[h1]Making Predictions (Must, Might, Can't)[/h1]

When you make a prediction or draw a conclusion, there's always doubts about how certain your prediction or conclusion is. A prediction as well as a conclusion usually has a degree of uncertainty. In predicting facts, or drawing conclusions, this uncertainty is expressed by the verbs "Must" "might" and "can't". [b]Must[/b] is used when you are 90% sure your prediction or conclusion is right, you have strong evidence. [b]Might[/b] is used when you're unsure of your prediction or conclusion, you're 30% sure, but you may be wrong. [b]Can't[/b] is the opposite of Must in this case and expresses an event you are 90% sure that it's not probable. [em]Examples:[/em] a) [i]Jim and Jill are not talking to eachother, they must be angry at one another[/i]. ( in this case you're drawing a conclusion you're almost certain about. Your conclusion is about something that is currently true for you.( they are angry at eachother now) b) [i]They might get divorced soon [/i] ( you don't know this you're making a prediction, but you're not really sure, you're just saying one of the many alternatives that can happen. Again this is a prediction about the future using facts you see now ) c)[i]They can't be in love if they're acting like that![/i]
