The document discusses modals used for speculation in English. It explains that "must" is used when something is sure to be possible or true, "can't" is used when something is sure to not be possible, and "might", "may", and "could" are used when the speaker is unsure. It provides examples of changing sentences to use these modals correctly based on levels of certainty. The document concludes by having the reader make sentences using pictures and modals to express different levels of speculation.
