42/84

A NOTE ABOUT SEMI-MODALS

You shouldnt--indeed, you cant--use can in the pastor in the future tense.

Use a form of be able to instead, or (in past tense),

use could. Examples: Icantspeak Russian.

Iwas able to orcouldspeak it when I was young.

Iwill be able tospeak it again after my trip to Moscow.


43/84

A NOTE ABOUT SEMI-MODALS

Another way to say must is have to (they both meanthe same thing). In fact, in negative sentences (-),questions (?), and in the past or future tenses, you cantuse must; you have to use have to.

Example: Imusthurry. Ihave tohurry.You donthave tohurry.

She had tohurry so that she wouldnt be late.
