    Default Re: Modal Dare and negation

    hi,

    Please note I'm not a teacher nor a native speaker;

    For the second meaning; wouldn't it be more natural to say "he could be wrong" instead of " he could not be right" ?

    Anyway I think that the context would clear the meaning more than the stress,


    cheers;
