English Grammar Podcast On Learning About Probability Adverbs ✔Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/english-learn-grammar-adverb-probability/
In this English language grammar lesson, we further our understanding of adverbs and their use when discussing probability in everyday English conversations. Today we will hear about the contrast between terms such  as certainty and probably, and communicating with others using the  English language by getting comfortable with probabilities.
Why  probability? Well, English speakers (I guess everyone) need the ability  to communicate estimates of the chance of something happening in the  future. Talking about certainty and uncertainty is commonplace, and it’s  important to understand the implications of what’s being said.
This English podcast lesson will focus on the differences between good and bad odds of future  events and how their usage fits into everyday English conversation. We  will talk through the typical English adverbs used to communicate zero  probability all the way to the best case. Listening to this podcast will leave you with a good chance of understanding "How likely something is"
Life is a school of probability.
