Definitely and Probably

 

  • Definitely and Probably

  • We can also use definitely and probably for deduction or speculation.

    Use definitely when we are sure something is true.
    -Amy will definitely be on time for work. She left early.

    Use probably when we think something is true, but we are not sure.
    -I probably won't pay with cash. I prefer to use a credit card.

  • The bank definitely charged Emily an overdraft fee.  She spent $200, but only had $50 in her account.
    probably left my credit card at home. It's not in my wallet.
    Max will probably buy a new car next year. He told me he's saving money every month.
    Sam definitely won't go to that restaurant again.  He said it was awful.
  • Remember! Use definitely and probably before the main verb or after a modal/auxiliary in affirmative sentences. Use them before both the main verb and the modal/auxiliary in negative sentences.
