1. We use definitely and certainly when we are very sure of the future. (T)
Explanation: When we are completely sure about something that will happen in the future, we can use the adverbs "definitely" and "certainly" to express our confidence in that future event.
2. When we are less sure of the future, we use probably. (T)
Explanation: When we are not completely sure about something that will happen in the future, but there is a high likelihood or probability, we use the adverb "probably" to indicate the possibility of that event occurring.
3. We can't use these adverbs with negative verbs. (F)
Explanation: This statement is false. We can use the adverbs "definitely," "certainly," and "probably" with both positive and negative verbs. For example, we can say "He definitely won't come" or "They probably won't pass the exam."
4. We can use these adverbs with might (not). (T)
Explanation: This statement is true. We can use the adverbs "definitely," "certainly," and "probably" with the modal verb "might" to express different degrees of possibility. For example, "He might definitely come" or "They might probably fail the test."
5. With affirmative verbs, the adverb goes before will. (T)
Explanation: When using affirmative verbs to express future events, we place the adverb before the verb "will." For example, "She will definitely win the race" or "They will probably arrive on time."
6. With negative verbs, the adverb goes before won't. (T)
Explanation: When using negative verbs to express future events, we place the adverb before the auxiliary verb "won't." For example, "He won't definitely be late" or "They won't probably miss the bus."
Remember, these rules will help us to accurately express our level of certainty about future events using adverbs.
