1. The future predictions: suy đoán về tương lai
•
To express our own view about the future :
•
I think + S + will/ be going to + v-bare-inf
•
I don’t think + S + will/ be going to + v-bare-inf
•
Or : I expect + S + will+ v-bare-inf
•
E.g I think the launch will/ is going to be a great success.
I don’t think that the launch will/ is going to be a great success.
I expect that we’ll see further growth in this sector.

2. Degrees of future probability : cấp độ của khả năng
có thể xãy ra trong tương lai
•
To express degrees of possibility, we use the following
structures with the adverbs such as definitely /
ˈdef.ɪ.nət.li/ adverb without any doubt :[ nhất định là],
•
Possibly /ˈpɒs.ə.bli/ /ˈpɑː.sə-/ adverb NOT CERTAIN
•
: có lẽ, có thể : used when something is not certain
•
He may possibly decide not to com
•
probably /ˈprɒb.ə.bli/ /ˈprɑː.bə-/ adverb
•
used to mean that something is very likely
•
: hầu như chắc chắn
•
A. CERTAIN : chắc chắn
Definitely : S+ will + definitely + v-bare-inf
•
= S+ be(am/is/are)+ definitely+ going to + V-bare-inf
•
E.g The recent oil crisis will definitely have an effect on
the market price.
•
B. LIKELY : có thể xãy ra
•
1. probably : S+ will + probably + v-bare-inf
•
= S+ be(am/is/are)+ probably+ going to + V-bare-inf
•
= There is a good/ strong possibility that +S+ will/can+ V-
bare-inf : chắc là
•
= It’s likely (that) + S will/can + v-bare
•
We are probably going to have to charge extra.
•
There is a good/ strong possibility we can make cuts.
•
B. POSSIBLE : có lẽ : POSSIBLY
•
S+ will + possibly + v-bare-inf
•
= S+ be(am/is/are)+ possibly+ going to + V-
bare-inf
•
= It’s possible that + S + will/can + V-bare-inf
•
= There’s a possibility that + S + will/can
•
It’s possible (that) things may get worse.
•
There’s a possibility things will get worse.
•
MIGHT : less certain : ít chắc chắn hơn
•
C. UNLIKELY : probably not : có lẽ không
•
S+ will + probably won’t + v-bare-inf
•
= S+ probably+ be not(am/is/are not)+ going to + V-bare-
inf
•
= It’s unlikely (that) + S will/can + v-bare
•
= S + doubt + if + S+ will/can + v-bare.
E.g
The new resort probably isn’t going to be open next year.
It’s unlikely they’ll be prepared to lose money.
I doubt if it’ll be any better this year.
•
IMPOSSIBLE : definitely not : không thể,
nhất định là không
•
S+ definitely won’t+ V-bare
