Crazy Heart: Past Modal for Speculation and Regrets

This movie has great music and touching acting. The scene the little boy disappears is perfect for modals for speculation and regrets. I used it for a production, not controlled exercise.






A. Watch the movie segment and write sentences using past modal verbs.






I. Write down 3 sentences saying what might have happened while the boy was lost.



Ex: The boy must have hidden himself somewhere.



1. _____________________
2. _____________________
3. _____________________


II. Write down 3 sentences saying what the main character should not have done.


Ex: He shouldn't have left the boy unattended.



1. ______________________
2. _____________________
3. _____________________


III. Write down 3 sentences saying what he should have done.

Ex: He should have kept an eye on the boy all the time.
