A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Use learner pages 1–2; keep the answer key on page 3 separate until feedback.
- Read the missing-parcel discussion and compare its possible explanations.
- Complete the modal-plus-base-verb items and rewrite guesses about opening, knowing, availability and finishing.
- Write three uncertain ideas, including a negative, then suggest explanations for a late friend.
Support and extension
Avoid fixed probability percentages. Might not/may not mean possibly not; could not usually suggests inability. Have in may have the address is an ordinary base verb, not a past deduction.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
