Question 2: Describing Events
Here are the most appropriate words for each event based on how likely they are to happen.
a. My mum will buy me a new pet every day.
*
Answer: Impossible (or *Never*)
* *Reasoning:* It is not realistic or possible for someone to buy a new pet every single day.
b. I will have homework tonight.
*
Answer: Likely (or *Probably*)
* *Reasoning:* For a Year 4 student, having homework is a very common daily occurrence, though not guaranteed every single night.
c. I will grow taller than an ant.
*
Answer: Certain (or *Always*)
* *Reasoning:* Humans are much larger than ants. You are already taller than an ant, and you will stay that way.
d. It will be sunny tomorrow.
*
Answer: Likely (or *Probably*)
* *Reasoning:* Weather changes, but unless it is currently storming, it is usually reasonable to guess it might be sunny. (Note: "Even chance" is also acceptable if you think rain and sun are equally possible).
e. It might rain at the weekend.
*
Answer: Possible (or *Even chance*)
* *Reasoning:* Since the sentence says "might," it means there is a chance it will happen and a chance it won't. This fits best with "Even chance."
