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."
"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)
"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)
"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 won't snow until December."
"It might not…"
"It might not be sunny at the beach."
"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.
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 adjectives | old, fast |
2-syllable adjectives ending in -y | happy, easy |
RULE: add "-est" | old → the oldest |
Variation: if the adjective ends in -e, just add -st | late → the latest |
Variation: if the adjective ends in consonant, vowel, consonant, double the last consonant | big → the biggest |
Variation: if the adjective ends in -y, change the y to i | happy → the happiest |
Long adjectives | |
---|---|
2-syllable adjectives not ending in -y | modern, pleasant |
all adjectives of 3 or more syllables | expensive, 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
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.
