Question

Fill in the blank choosing suitable modal from the bracket:
(may, should, will, can)
Amit has gone to Jaipur. He _________ return today by the evening.

Answer 1

'Will' is the correct answer as it is used for talking about or predicting the future.

The main use of 'should' is to tell somebody what they ought to do, to give advice, or to add emphasis to something and 'may' is used to give permissions, make requests or to express the possibility of something happening. Neither of these usages would fit in the sentence and hence both are incorrect answers.

'Can' is incorrect because it is used to express the ability or opportunity, to request or offer permission, and to show possibility or impossibility. This usage of the modal verb does not go with the given context.
