⬆️ Back to Exercise 1💡 Speaking Tip (Exercise 4)
When discussing probability, use the scale: will definitely → will probably → may/might → probably won’t → definitely won’t. This helps express your opinion clearly. Phrases like "I don't think she'll..." or "I agree/disagree" are useful for group discussions.
⬆️ Back to Exercise 4📚 About Future Forms & Probability
This unit practices future simple (will/won't) with adverbs of probability (definitely, probably, maybe). Remember, "will" is used for predictions, instant decisions, and promises. The listening exercises train you to catch these key words in natural speech.
