Listen to this part of the conversation between Connie and Jake.

Try her house.She might be home.
I called.She's not there.
Where's Steven?Have you heard from him?

must go must go on
the show must go on
Well,the show must go on.
Except we can't find the scripts.
they must be on the bookshelf.
They must be on the bookshelf.
I put them there yesterday.
By now you know what when we use might or might not,
we are expressing a possibility.
And we often use must or must not to express an assumption.
For example,when we say..
Maria might be home.
We mean it is possible that scripts are on the bookshelf.
but we really don't know.When we say...
The scripts must be on the bookshelf.
We meas that we assume the scripts are on the bookshelf.
In other words,we are almost certain that they're on the shelf.
Listen to the following situations
and decide whether to respond using might or using must.
For example,you hear....
Jake hasn't slept for a long time.
Be tired.
And you say... He must be tired.
Or you hear...
When will the new furniture arrive?
Arrive today.
And you day... It might arrive today.
All right.Let's begin.
Jake hasn't slept for a long time.
Be tired.
He must be tired.
When will the new furniture arrive?
Arrive today.
It might arrive today.
Jake's alone in his office,but I can hear him talking.
On the telephone.
He must be on the telephone.
Mike doesn't know where to go on his next vacation.
Go to Europe.
He might go to Europe.
Steven told me he was on pins and needles.
Be very nervous.
He must be every nervous.
Mike said to call it a day.I wonder what he wants us to do.
Stop working.
He must want us to stop working.
Now take your pencil and a piece of paper.
In a moment,you're going to have a dictation.
But don't write anything yet.Just listen.

They hope these objects will help them understand the past.
