The modal verb CAN was used in Obama’s speech during his 2008 U.S. presidential campaign. Relating Kramsch’s quote to Obama’s speech, what would be an adequate starting point to understand the use of this modal verb when designing a lesson plan?
- AWhen Obama said “Yes, we can”, he expressed ability and a request to the American people to keep the status quo.
- BThe use of CAN in this political speech is intended to release Obama from responsibility for his words.
- CWhen he used CAN instead of will, he strengthened his discourse by opposing the idea of political speech, which most of the time involves promises.
- DIf Obama had used the modal MUST, he would have built a stronger commitment based on obligation to change.
- EThe best way to express the power of change would be the use of the modal MIGHT, because it would give people more space to choose whether to be part of the process or not.
