WILL/WOULD
Deontic modality = different shades of volitive disposition to realize an action
in conditional sentences: I can explain it if you will (=are willing) bear with me a little longer.
general characteristics: She will/would sit for hours at the window.
With inanimate subjects: The drawer won’t/wouldn’t shut.
Epistemic modality = probability based on speakers judgment
That will be the postmen. (To je určitě pošťák)
You will have heard about it of course. (Jistě jste už o tom slyšel)
That would be Mary, I expect (To by mohla být Marie)
She would have been around twenty when shegot married. (Bylo jí (mohlo jí být) tak dvacet, když se vdávala)
MODAL VERBS + negation
if modal verb phrase is negated then either the modality or the activity/state expressed by the main verb is negated
I mustn’t come late again. = must [not come] = obligation not to
I can’t come tomorrow. = [can not] = impossibility to
one must remember how each modal verb is negated, some modal verbs, however, can be negated in both ways
I may not see him again. – may [not see] = maybe I will not
- [may not] see = not allowed to see
remember: mustn’t = nesmět
nemuset = not have to, needn’t
