Thanks, Lucy, for the introduction model verb. I just follow your channel a month ago and I have watched your lesson about model verb just now.

[@minhly650]

Hi Lucy, could you make a video about how to use 'possibly' and 'probably' properly? Thank you so much.

[@AzrentheLanguageNerd]

Possibly and probably mean almost the same thing. However, the difference is that: Possibly: 40-60% chance of something happening. Probably: Above 60% chance of something happening. You can also say "probably not" which means that there is a less than 40% chance of something happening.

[@minhly650]

Well, basically, they work like adverbs of frequency (always, usually, often, sometimes, etc.) and we can use them almost interchangeably depending on circumstances. For instance: 1. This last exam is possibly/probably the most difficult. 2. He couldn't possibly/probably have heard what he said. 3. A: Are you going to Scarborough Fair? B: Possibly/Probably. I am not a native speaker. If possible, could you explain it in detail? It is still confusing me a little. Thank you so much.

[@andrewsmith74]

Possibly could be a lot less than a 40% chance.

[@drkjk]

Possible regards the existence of something. Question, "Is it possible for man to travel to Mars?" Probable regards the chances of something happening. "Though it is now not possible for man to travel to Mars, someday man will probably make the journey."

[@andrewsmith74]

drkjk Not always. Someone could say that it's possible that they'll get laid at a party (if they think it's unlikely).

[@pavlotrofimov5791]

Hi! Thank you for your lesson. Could you explain something about "ought to"? Why did you skip it?

[@mansakaur6545]

“Ought to” has-to which most modal verbs don’t, so you can say that it is a semi modal word.Ought to and should can be replaced for each other (also depends on the the sentence )

[@pavlotrofimov5791]

​ Mansa Kaur ​, as a matter of fact i would like to know this difference ("also depends on the the sentence"). If they are absolutely replacable, what difference between them? I read somewhere that we can use "Ought to" in more formal conversation. Have you heard something about it?

[@technologyios]

According to your homework the following sentence are: I can do this (express ability) Shall i help you? (express offer) You must not smoke here.(express prohibition)
