    Expressing Possibility

    What is the difference between possibility and probability?


    Possibility is when there is a chance that something may happen or be true
    while probability is the likelihood of something happening or being true:

    Example:
    "Until yesterday, the project was just a possibility, but now it has become a
    real probability."

    It is likely that it will happen.

    Expressing Possibility

     My grandmother may travel alone.
     May be she will make the trip alone.
     Perhaps she will visit London.
     Possibly, she will go by plane.
     It's possible that someone will meet her at the airport.
     She might buy some presents for the family before she goes.
     I suppose she might spend a lot of money on the presents.
     There's a chance she'll like the city.
     She will take an umbrella as it could rain heavily there..

    Expressing impossibility

     No, it's impossible to repair that old Chevrolet.


     Even a good mechanic can't possibly fix it.
     We may not be able to travel by car.
     There's no chance my father repairs it tomorrow.
