Hi guys, Dan for BBC Learning English. 00:00:03
As you can see, I'm not at all happy about this situation, something's gone missing. 00:00:21
Now this week we're going to talk about modals with a past meaning and as usual we're going 00:00:25
to do the whole thing in 90 seconds, excuse me. 00:00:30
So as you know, English has modal verbs, there are nine of them in total. 00:00:34
are must, can't, may, might, and could. Now these verbs are normally followed by the 00:00:39
infinitive and they're special because they don't change their form for person 00:00:44
or to show time. They have a present meaning but when we want to use them 00:00:48
with a past meaning we use the modal verb plus have plus the past participle. 00:00:53
In this case, Rob must have eaten my cake. Now, Rob must have eaten my cake is a 00:00:58
is a measure of confidence. It means that I am extremely confident 00:01:06
that Rob did this at some time in the past. When we change the modal verb, we 00:01:10
change the level of confidence. 00:01:15
For example, Rob can't have eaten my cake. 00:01:17
This means I think that this is impossible, but I know he did it. 00:01:21
Let's make it less certain. Rob 00:01:25
may have eaten my cake. This means it's possible. 00:01:28
Maybe he did, maybe he didn't. I'm not sure. And the same for might. 00:01:32
rob might have eaten my cake finally at the lowest level of confidence meaning this is possible but 00:01:36
i'm not 100 sure at all rob could have eaten my cake but that's not true because rob must 00:01:42
have eaten my cake rob always eats my cake i suppose it's my fault the last set of modal 00:01:51
verbs that we can talk about is should when we make a mistake in the past this is called hindsight 00:01:56
So, maybe I shouldn't have left it... 00:02:02
I should have been a bit quicker. 00:02:04
Maybe I shouldn't have left it in the fridge. 00:02:07
Maybe I should have put my cake at my desk. 00:02:09
But Rob, come on, man. 00:02:12
Anyway, guys, modal verbs in the past. 00:02:15
It's modal plus have plus the past participle. 00:02:17
Don't forget, I've got to go and sort Rob out. 00:02:19
See you next time, okay? 00:02:23
