Good morning everyone, happy Monday! Here's your weather report for
the next three days. There's a chance of hail in the morning. It may even
turn into sleet later – since it is freezing outside.
The forecast for Tuesday is a bit uncertain. We might see some
thunderstorms rolling in. It will probably be quite chilly too, with
a chance of frost overnight.
For Wednesday, it will likely be misty and humid all day. It is better to
be prepared for anything! Dress in layers, grab your umbrella, and stay
safe out there.

11. Check Your Understanding

Language Point
In the monologue you just heard, there were some
expressions called ‘modal verbs’. These verbs are ones that
show us how possible or likely something is to happen.
Here are the ones mentioned:
It may even turn
into sleet later
We might see some
thunderstorms
rolling in.
It will probably be
quite chilly too
… it will likely be
misty and humid
all day.
This is an adverb.

12. Check Your Understanding

Language Point
Modal verbs can be used in a variety of ways.
may
The word ‘probably’
is an adverb that we
also can use!
might
will
probably

13. Vocabulary

Language Point
may
The modal verb ‘may’ suggests
a possibility that's somewhere around
50% – it could happen or it could not.
It can also be used to ask for
permission.
For example:
1.
With the rain finally stopping, we may finally get to enjoy
that picnic in the park!
2.
If it is sunny on Sunday, may we please go to the beach?
Have you ever asked for permission
before? What did you ask for?

14. Vocabulary

Language Point
might
The modal verb ‘might’ suggests
a lower possibility than ‘may’, closer
to 40%. It's often used in situations
where we are less certain.
For example:
1.
The weather might be good for a hike next week.
2.
Because of the rain, she might have to walk her dog tomorrow
instead of today.
What do you think might happen if the
weather remains freezing cold?

15. Language Point

will
The modal verb ‘will’ suggests that
something is likely to happen in the
future, with a higher degree of
certainty than ‘may’ or ‘might’. This
is around a 75% and upwards chance
of happening.
For example:
1.
It will be sunny at the weekend.
2.
It will be cold tomorrow if it rains.
What do you think the weather will be
like tomorrow for you?

16. Language Point

probably
The word ‘probably’ is an adverb
which is used to show something is
likely, but not guaranteed. This has
a greater than 50% chance
of happening.
For example:
1.
It will probably snow next month.
2.
It will probably be windy at the beach tomorrow.
What do you think would probably happen
if it rains and you forget an umbrella?
