modals & degree of certainty

[hela]

Dear teachers,

Would you please tell me how you would classify these modals, please? From the less certain to the most certain

You might be right = very uncertain
may
could
can
You should be right / have been right.
ought to
would
will
You must be right = almost certain
You are right = certain

OR

You might be right = very uncertain
could
may (50% ?)
can
You should be right / have been right.
ought to
would
must(90% ?)
can’t (90% ?)
You will be right (99% ?) = almost certain

Thank you for your help,
Hela

Would you please tell me how you would classify these modals, please? From the less certain to the most certain. (Hi Hela: They don't really fit in a straight-line classification from most to less certain. I hope this helps sort them out).

You might be right = very uncertain
may = possibly certain

could (Could and can mean certainty under the correct condition, i.e. if-clause.
can Could = if + unreal condition.
Can = if + real condition.

You should be right (Should (Br.)/would (Am.) = certainty under correct unreal condition, i.e. if-clause.
Will = certainty under correct real condition, i.e. if-clause.

/ have been right. (I think this is a typo. You mean "have to be right," don't you?)
have to be right = (Almost certain, same as "must be right." This meaning has no obligation).


You should be right (this meaning is different from "should be Br." above. This "should be" has the same meaning as "must be," but is less certain).
You ought to be right (This meaning is the same as must be right and is different from "ought to" meaning obligation).
You must be right = almost certain (The meaning "almost certain" is different from "must" meaning obligation).
You are right = certain

Thank you Rusty, I'll study that carefully then I'll come back to you if necessary.

Kind regards
