Question

likely,possible,probable用法和意义上的区别.（详细+实用) Thanks

Answer 1

请看likely的用法:
a.
1.很可能的[+to-v][+that]
John is likely to be in London this autumn.
今年秋天约翰可能在伦敦.
2.适当的,正合要求的[(+for)]
The park is a likely place for the picnic.
这公园倒是个适合野餐的地方.
possible,probable的区别
这两个词的反义词是impossible,improbable
1）possible作“或许”解,有“也许如此,也许不如此”之意.强调客观上有可能性,但常常带有“实际可能性很小”的暗示.
2）probable用来指有根据,合情理,值得相信的事物,带有“大概,很可能”的意味.语气比possible要重,是most likely之意.
It’s possible,though not probable.That he will accept the terms.他也可能接受这些条件,但希望不大.
(2) be possible,be probable常用形式主语it,构成句型为：
It is possible/probable + that …（从句）
It is possible /probable+ for sb.to do sth.例如：
他有可能做这件事.
[√] It is possible for him to do this.
[√] It is possible that he will do this.
[×] He is possible to do this.
