| Oct 3, 2020 at 23:13 | comment | added | BoldBen | @Mr.X I thought that my final paragraph made it clear that the level of stress on the word 'could' makes no difference to the the interpretation. I'm sorry if that is not the case. In terms of the two interpretaions you give in the question the first provides the conditions under which the second one becomes possible, there really is only one set of circumstances in this case so I don't see that there is any conflict, or even any difference in the interpretations. In other circumstances this might not be true but, even then, it doesn't matter whether 'could' is stressed or not. | |

| Oct 3, 2020 at 16:00 | comment | added | Mr. X | I'm a little confused: Do you agree that a) and b) are two different interpretations and do not imply the same thing? If so, do you agree that "might" is not possible with interpretation a)? | |
