Level 6 Unit 1 -
Would / Could / Might - more difficult sentences.

Select the correct answers from the choices given. One, two, or three answers to be ticked.

Could, Might & Would - complications

COULD - A physical possibility.

Example: If I were taller, I COULD see over the fence.
(but I wouldn't neccesarily do it!)

MIGHT - A question of chance, but not in your control.

Example: You MIGHT see a tiger, if you went into the forest.
(There is a tiger, there but not everyone sees it.)

WOULD - A sure consequence.

Example: If you jumped in the water, you WOULD get wet.
(At least the person speaking thinks so.)

Note: There are, of course, many sentences where two or
all three answers would fit:

(If I were rich I COULD, WOULD or MIGHT buy a Rolls Royce.)

So a wrong answer is not neccessarily grammatically incorrect,
only illogical.

To complicate the problem, in America, and more and more in Britain, "could" is used where "might" wouldbe more logical....

In this activity you must decide how many of the words "could" would" "might" can be used in the sentence.
There can be one, two or even three correct possibilities for each sentence.
If you do not get 3/3 you will be given some help.

Try to get a "feel" for the different sentences.
