The research teams analysing fossils found in China and Taiwan could be looking at something very important. While you listen, think about this question: Are the fossils from humans? And Fiona is talking about some ancient fossils that were found in China and Taiwan. We'll give you lots of examples…Īnd we’ll check what you've learned in our quiz.īut first, we're listening to Fiona, who is a science reporter. And modal verbs can express how sure or unsure we are about our guesses. When we don't know something for sure, we often make guesses. Now modal verbs are used in a lot of different ways but in this programme we’re looking at the modal verbs we use when we're talking about things we think are possible or true – both in the present and in the past.
