Grammar: Modal

Question:

Fill in the blank with the appropriate Modal:

I ________ go to Ireland.

Options:

need

dare

might

suppose

Correct Answer:

might

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) - might

 Explanation:

  • "Might" is a modal verb used to express possibility.
  • The sentence would read as "I might go to Ireland," indicating that there is a possibility of going, but it is not certain.

Why not the other options?

"Need" – This would require "to" (e.g., "I need to go to Ireland."), and it indicates necessity rather than ability.
"Dare" – This is typically used in negative or interrogative sentences (e.g., "Dare I go to Ireland?"), and it doesn't fit well here.
"Suppose" – This is not a modal verb and does not convey ability, necessity, or possibility in this context.
