English Language & Usage Asked on September 10, 2020
Consider this sentence of mine, please:
Depending on the context, I might use one of the sentences.
If you were to paraphrase might in the above sentence, how would you paraphrase it?
a) Depending on the context, I will possibly use one of the sentences. Or
b) Depending on the context, I would possibly use one of the sentences.
Will possibly. "Would possibly" introduces doubt regarding whether it is possible for you to use one of the sentences. It means "I Would be in the position of possibly using one of the sentences, but [for an unstated reason] I am not in that position, indicating that it is impossible for you to use one of the sentences." , whereas "will possibly" only introduces doubt about whether you will use one of the sentences. "Would" indicates a change of mind- for example: I would eat the ice cream, but it has melted.
