6. HEDGING
The group of 11 words called modals can help you avoid over-generalisation as they express degrees of certainty and possibility, thereby avoiding making statements which claim too much or suggest you know everything about a subject.
The 11 modals are:
CAN           MAY         COULD     MIGHT          WILL    
WOULD     SHALL      SHOULD, OUGHT TO   MUST  NEEDN'T
 
By far the most useful modal verbs are CAN, MAY, COULD and MIGHT.  If you say something IS true you may well be guilty of over-generalisation.  If you say something MAY or MIGHT be true you avoid this problem.
