This is the most complicated part of grammar that it can never be absorbed once, but here the style of teaching can melt it down! In fact, I think grouping them as certain family ( Verbs of Speculation ) not where they are mixed & taught all together with " should, would, ought to, will, shall,  dare & have to, just as modals verbs to cause more confusion with them! Thanks.

Ma’am are these sentences correct - “he’s not picking up the phone, I think he must/could/may/might have slept just now” or “he must/could/may/might be a Doctor” and “she must/may/could/might be sleeping now”. And ma’am is the usage of could in the sentences above correct.? Please help me out ma’am I’m bit confused here. Thanks in advance.

Ma’am I’m so happy that you have corrected every bit of my error. It’s so sweet of you for such thorough help. Actually every doubt that I had is clear but still ma’am sometimes when I’m having conversations I get confused at some points for eg:
1.) He - will you come to the party tomorrow?
Me - Umm, I might (here Ma’am If I use “could” in place of “might” as a modal of possibility then wouldn’t it sound bit awkward? Though both show possibilities.) And,
2.) “I can’t find my wallet. I could’ve left it at home.”
3.) “I could’ve got better marks If I had studied the last chapter.”
Ma’am here in 2.) & 3.) you can see both the sentences have used “could’ve” though they have totally different meanings as former has used it as modal of possibility and latter sentence is quite of conditional type. So how can I differentiate them. It becomes quite confusing for me sometimes. Could you help me here Ma’am.?

[AbhishekMishra-zsmy]

Your videos are very effective and I am already your subscriber as you teach really well. I have a request if you could Make a detail video on all preposition. I have a quick question about English . If you could help me that would be great.
'' He is walking on the road.'' is this means the guy is walking in the middle of the road?
'' He is walking along the road. '' is this mean he is walking on the road side.
