When to Use the Present Perfect Tense | With example sentences

WILL-MIGHT FOR PREDICTIONS

English grammar: Will, might

We can use "will", "might" to make predictions in English. We often do this when we talk about the weather, for example.

Will and might

Both "will" and "might" are modal auxiliary verbs. This means that they are followed by the infinitive of the verb without "to":
"It will rain later." (Not "it will to rain…")
"It might rain later."
(For more information on how to use modal auxiliary verbs, see our page on can.)
We use "will" when we are sure that something will happen.
"It will be sunny later." (100% probability)
We use "might" when something is less sure.
"It might rain later. Take an umbrella with you." (50% probability)
The negative forms are:
"It won't…"
"It won't snow until December."
"It might not…"
"It might not be sunny at the beach."

SUPERLATIVES-GRAMMAR

Superlative Adjectives

A superlative adjective expresses the extreme or highest degree of a quality. We use a superlative adjective to describe the extreme quality of one thing in a group of things.
We can use superlative adjectives when talking about three or more things (not two things).
In the example below, "biggest" is the superlative form of the adjective "big":
A   B   C
A is the biggest.

Formation of Superlative Adjectives

As with comparative adjectives, there are two ways to form a superlative adjective:
  • short adjectives: add "-est"
  • long adjectives: use "most"
We also usually add 'the' at the beginning.
Short adjectives
1-syllable adjectivesold, fast
2-syllable adjectives ending in -yhappy, easy
RULE: add "-est"old → the oldest
Variation: if the adjective ends in -e, just add -stlate → the latest
Variation: if the adjective ends in consonant, vowel, consonant, double the last consonantbig → the biggest
Variation: if the adjective ends in -y, change the y to ihappy → the happiest
Long adjectives
2-syllable adjectives not ending in -ymodern, pleasant
all adjectives of 3 or more syllablesexpensive, intellectual
RULE: use "most"modern → the most modern
expensive → the most expensive
With some 2-syllable adjectives, we can use "-est" OR "most":

quiet → the quietest/most quiet
clever → the cleverest/most clever
narrow → the narrowest/most narrow
simple → the simplest/most simple
Exception: The following adjectives have irregular forms:
  • good → the best
  • bad → the worst
  • far → the farthest/furthest

Use of Superlative Adjectives

We use a superlative adjective to describe one thing in a group of three or more things. Look at these examples:
  • John is 1m75. David is 1m80. Chris is 1m85. Chris is the tallest.
  • Canada, China and Russia are big countries. But Russia is the biggest.
  • Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world.
