Lesson 4 / handout 4b


Match the three headings and the letters below appropriately:


EXPECTATION                             ASSUMPTION                                CONCLUSION


a)                  based on particular experiences and occasions, and therefore, being more
adapted to circumstances than assumption; is generally more accurate

b)                  believing that things are or will be as we wish them to be

c)                  based on our knowledge of people or things – their daily routine, character,
qualities (NOT based on our wishes); is more realistic than expectation

d)                 will (have)

e)                  must (have), cannot (have), could not have

f)                  should (have), ought to (have)

g)                 „očekávání, naděje“

h)                 „závěr, rozhodnutí“

i)                   “předpoklad”
