This FCE stuff is like that, we are all professional here. The point is: If you have an alternative pair of modals to distribute and one of them is a term communicatvely marked for something (have to for strong obligation), then, to the absence of a contextual hint, the unmarked term (should, milder obligation) is usually taken as right. This is the problem with FCE multiple choice, rather often there is not a lot of context in the sentences they supply.</description></item><item><title>Re: Modals, Quiz, FCE</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/ModalsQuizFce/gpzcz/post.htm#576367</link><pubDate>Wed, 22 Apr 2009 00:48:31 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:576367</guid><dc:creator>Fandorin</dc:creator><slash:comments>18</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/ModalsQuizFce/gpzcz/post.htm#576367</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments25-576367.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>I wasn&amp;#39;t going to offence you.
