6 Possible or Not?

The activity aims to have students express degrees of certainty and uncertainty. It also makes it possible
for students to work not only individually but also in pairs or groups while activating their speaking,
reading and writing skills.

Materials and Preparation
Worksheet on page 88
Copy the worksheet and hand it out to each student in the class.

Procedure
1 Have students read the prompts provided on the worksheet.
2 Tell students to create questions, individually, based on the prompts, such as “Do you think you will
meet friends after school today?”
3 Then, put students into pairs and have them ask and answer the questions to complete the
chart with their partner’s answers. Remind students that they should use one of the adverbs of
probability (definitely/probably) while answering a question.

E.g.
Student A Do you think you will meet friends after school today?
Student B I probably will (meet friends after school today).

4 When the pairs have finished, ask each pair to join with four other pairs to make a group of ten.
5 Give them a few minutes to work as a group and take notes about the information they have
found out.

E.g.
In our group, five people think they will probably meet friends, three people think they probably
won’t meet friends and two people think they definitely won’t meet friends after school today.

6 At the end of the activity, the groups take it in turns to share their results with the class.
