Question

Use the verb in parentheses with the modals must, may/might/could, can. One sentence uses should. Note: some of the modals are in past form: (modal + have + past participle).

1. Max’s flight from Amsterdam took more than 11 hours. He (be) __must be__ exhausted after such a long flight.
2. He (want, not) ____ __ to go out anywhere tonight. Tomorrow night (be) _____________ a better time to take him to dinner.

Answer 1

To use the verb in parentheses with the modals must, may/might/could, can, we can form sentences like 'Max's flight from Amsterdam took more than 11 hours. He must be exhausted after such a long flight.' and 'He does not want to go out anywhere tonight. Tomorrow night would be a better time to take him to dinner.'

Step-by-step explanation:

To use the verb in parentheses with the modals must, may/might/could, can, we can form sentences like:

1. Max’s flight from Amsterdam took more than 11 hours. He must be exhausted after such a long flight.
2. He does not want to go out anywhere tonight. Tomorrow night would be a better time to take him to dinner.

In the first sentence, the verb 'be' is used with the modal 'must' to indicate a strong assumption that Max is exhausted after the long flight. In the second sentence, the verb 'want' is used in the negative form with the modal 'does not' to indicate Max's lack of desire to go out, and the verb 'be' is used in the past form 'would be' to suggest that tomorrow night would be a better time for dinner.
