I’m a very indecisive
person and today I’m going to teach you how to express possibility in English
 Let’s start with the modal verbs “may” and “might”. The modal verb “may” indicates possibility. For example, I may have pizza for dinner tonight. Pode ser que jante pizza esta noite. It may rain this weekend. Pode ser que chova neste fim de semana. Here you can use the modal verb “might” instead of “may” and say: I might have pizza for dinner tonight. It might rain this weekend. Here “may” is slightly more formal than “might”. Nestas frases, "may" é um pouco mais formal que "might". We sometimes use the adverbs “maybe” and “perhaps” to express possibility. “Perhaps” is more formal than “maybe”. When referring to possible future events like the ones in the examples above, we use these adverbs followed by the future with “will”. Quando falamos de possíveis eventos futuros como os exemplos acima, estes advérbios são seguidos pelo futuro com "will". Look… Perhaps I will have pizza for dinner tonight. or Maybe I will have pizza for dinner tonight. Talvez jantarei pizza esta noite. Perhaps it will rain this weekend. or Maybe it will rain this weekend. Talvez chova neste fim de semana. Hopefully it won’t rain this weekend! Espero que não chova neste fim de semana! Now, watch the ABA Film 49 and see how Andrew helps Emily learn the modal verbs! Put your headset on! Have a lovely weekend. Best wishes, |
