Hello everyone, I need your help with the following sentence;
a. You _____ try talking to your parents about getting involved in
activities that ______ help you become more confident.
1. can/would 2.
might/could 3. should/would 4 might/should In this sentence I wanted students to use the second option might/could, but the thruth is that many of them used the third option should/would. Can I accept that answer? What do you think? |

You can definitely accept should/would. Even can/would is acceptable, although not quite as solid, not having both verbs in the conditional form. Grammatically, even might/should isn �t incorrect, although the sentence doesn �t read very well with that option. Bruce |

All the options are correct - it depends on the emphasis you want to put on the verb. Deb |
