Son varios los usos que pueden tener estos cuatro verbos modales, pero básicamente nos vamos a
centrar en:
REQUESTS (peticiones)
Utilizamos tanto can y could como may y might para peticiones. May, might son bastante
formales, could lo es algo menos. También
podemos utilizar will y would. Fíjate en los diferentes grados de formalidad.
- Can/will you help me with my French homework? (informal)
- Could/would you help me with this exercise? (more polite)
- May I have a pen and some paper, please? (formal)
- May I come in? (formal)
- Might I have one of those leaflets? (bastante formal)
ASKING PERMISSION (pidiendo permiso)
Usamos can, could, may o might para pedir permiso para poder hacer algo. Could y may son más
formales que can.
- Can I go swimming? (informal)
- Could I ask you another question? (more polite)
- May/might I have a look at this report? (formal)
GIVING/REFUSING PERMISSION (dando o negando permiso)
Usamos may y can, pero no might o could para dar permiso. May es muy formal.
- You can’t see Kim tonight, but you can see her tomorrow if you like.
- You can leave your luggage here (informal)
- You may not leave your luggage here. (formal) (Por ejemplo, un panel en la terminal de un
aeropuerto)
- Passengers may take only one item of hand luggage on board (formal)
OFFERS (ofrecimientos)
Para ofrecimientos utilizamos generalmente can y could (could es más fomal que can). Shall
también es posible, aunque es mucho más
formal.
- Can/could I get you anything from the store?
- Shall I help you cross the road?
SUGGESTIONS (sugerencias)
- Speaker A: What shall we do tonight?
- Speaker B: We can/could go to the movies.
- We can/could go out for a meal later.
