This exercise involves choosing between modal verbs (such as may, must, might, could, etc.) to express different levels of possibility, permission, or obligation.

I must/mustn’t look in the stock room. We might/might not have some left. I’m not sure. B: The wool must/mustn’t be exactly the same color, it must/mustn’t be different. A: Could/Mustn’t I ask you a question, madam? B: Yes. A: What do you want the wool for? B: I could/must finish knitting this jumper. It only has one sleeve at the moment!

Let's choose the correct modal verbs:

1. A: Good morning, madam. May I help you? 2. B: You might be able to. I need a ball of wool that is the same color as my jumper. 3. A: Just a moment, please. I must look in the stock room.
