Another Word Test - Probable Vs Possible Vs Plausible

who wanna try to tell everybody what's the difference among

1. Probable

2. Possible

3. Plausible

簡單的說：

1. Probable adj.
很可能的, 大概的

2. Possible adj.
可能的, 可能存在或發生的

3. Plausible adj.
似是而非的

這是不用大腦的電子詞典給的解釋。好像具體運用中光知道這些是不夠的。是不是需要進一步區別呢？

u want the answer now?

u r right, by explaining that way is still not good enough.

i need more time although i know the clock is di ta di ta and di ta...

![:477:] [:485:] [:437:]


hehe, actually i want to give this good opportunity to somebody else

1. probable
likely to exist, occur, or be true, although evidence is insufficient to prove or predict it.

2. possible
capable of happening or likely to happen in the future

3. plausible
believable and appearing likely to be true, usually in the absence of proof

see, that's the problem of learning english.
by checking the english-chinese dictionary, u can never find right answer. u r not able to tell the difference.

we still need some examples to show the differences. Although we know they are different by meaning, we need to see how to choose different words for different purpose!

one sentence u may use any of those three, depends on the likelyhood,
then u choose one from those three.

i see.

From my point of view.
Plausible: negative
Probable: neutral
possible: positive

daodaodao
i do think u r right.

oh, i think Daodaodao is to the point! the thing English learners are  of is using a negative word in the place where a positive meaning is to express.
