Ejercicio 1
Last week, I was thinking about going on a date with Philip. I thought that he wasn't such a bad guy after all. For example, I thought to myself, it couldn't be true that he sometimes dates two women at once. Then, I saw him kissing his colleague's wife! I am absolutely sure of it... I'm not going out with him!
Last week, I was thinking about possibly 1 going on a date with Philip. I thought that maybe 2 he wasn't such a bad guy after all. For example, I thought to myself, it couldn't possibly 3 be true that he sometimes dates two women at once. Then, I saw him kissing his colleague's wife! I am absolutely sure of it... I'm definitely 4 not going out with him!
1 possibly: 'Possibly' correctly expresses the chance that the speaker will agree to go on a date with Philip.
1 possible: We always use an adverb to precede a verb in constructions like these. 'Possible' is an adjective, and cannot be used here.
2 maybe: 'Maybe' is the best choice here because it fits into the sentence's construction and correctly expresses the possibility that Philip isn't as much of a rogue as he is said to be.
2 might: 'Might' is almost always preceded by the subject of the sentence, for example 'I might be wrong' (interrogative constructions are an exception to this general tendency). We could not say 'I thought that might he'.
2 may be: 'May be' should be contracted to one single word in this case: 'maybe'. As two separate words, the phrase takes on a different meaning.
3 possibly: 'Possibly' correctly expresses the chance that Philip's actually has dated two women simultaneously.
3 maybe: We would not say 'couldn't maybe' because it is grammatically incorrect.
4 definitely: 'Definitely' is the best choice here because it expresses the certainty that speaker will not date Philip.
4 possibly: Although 'possibly' is grammatically correct, we can see from the context and the emphatic nature of the phrase, that we need a word which expresses certainty, and not possibility.
4 maybe: Although 'maybe' is grammatically correct, we can see from the context and the emphatic nature of the phrase, that we need a word which expresses certainty, and not possibility.
