If any of the eggs were cracked 땡땡씨 would have to go back to the store.

A: I believe they meant “shut your eyes”, not “shout your eyes”.

“We eventually end up shutting our eyes to (ignoring) things happening around us to prevent (avoid, stop from happening) the possibility of getting really hurt.”

A: Anything is possible, but some possibilities are more likely to happen than others. A “definite possibility” is one that is very likely to happen, has a better than 50:50 chance of happening.

Judging from how dark those clouds are, I’d say rain in the next hour is a definite possibility.

I worked so hard on this report and it looks great. Getting an A on it is a definite possibility.

You insulted her boyfriend? It’s a definite possibility she’ll be waiting for you at the bus stop to beat you up.

A: Watch the spelling carefully. It should be "tantalisingly" over the next horizon. "Tantalising" means just out of reach. It comes from the Greek myth about Tantalus, who was punished in the afterlife by having to stand in a pool of water and with bunches of grapes hanging near his mouth. Every time he bent down to drink, the water shrank away and every time he reached for some grapes, they rose out of reach. So if something is tantalising it means that you can nearly do it or reach it, but it remains (for the time being) not quite possible.

A: There is not much chance of it happening .
There is a remote possibility I will travel to the moon.
Is there a remote possibility that you have a car?
Everyone who buys a lottery ticket has a remote possibility of winning
You can also use the expression “remote chance” which means about the same.

A: @learning257 Yes! "Options" would also fit in most cases.
There are some cases where "choices" and "options" won't fit; usually when you can't change the outcome.

e.g.
"There is the possibilty of rain tomorrow" "Choices" or "options" don't work because you can't change the weather.

A: The possibilities (복수형) are endless.

There is a strong possibility that I will be rejected.

Have you considered the possibility that you may be wrong?

My first two ideas didn't work, but I thought of a third possibility.

Is there any possibility that you can help me with this?
There is absolutely no possibility that I would ever do something like that.
What is that possibility of you giving me the rest of that sandwich?

A: The word possibility comes from modifying the word possible. They are related.

Eg. There is a possibility of rain ☔ tomorrow.
OR
There is a possibility of winning this game

A: Possibility: how likely something is to occur
ex.: P1: 'Will it rain tomorrow?'
P2: 'It's possible' (Meaning it might rain tomorrow)
Ability: The power or capability to do something
I think ability refers to things which you have control over,things which you actively do,while 'possibility' refers to things which you don't have control over (events,or the rain for example)

A: There really is no difference, they are used in the exact same context and no additional phrasing has to change in order to substitute one for the other.

A: I would say possibility is what you have the chance to get from something, and probability is the likeliness or rate at which you have the chance to get something.

So I have a bag of 4 marbles. I There are three colors: blue, red, and white. There are 2 red marbles, 1 blue marble and 1 white marble.

I can POSSIBLY get a blue, red, or white marble. I will PROBABLY get a red marble.

A: Right. Saying "I have a chance" implies you are hoping the chance is met. For bad things saying 'there is a chance" is best.

A: "Probability" and "possibility" can both mean likelihood and neither is inherently more likely than the other.

People tend to feel that a probability is more likely but of course the probability may be very low (unlikely).

"...in all probability..." does mean it is most likely.

"Possibility" can also mean something is just possible, again the possibility may be remote (unlikely).

A: LOL I can relate to this XD
"What I fear is that if I write or speak in English, there is the possibility that it could change my soul and even my brain" is a better way of phrasing it.

A: Use “may” when something is more likely to happen.
Use “might” if something is less likely to happen or in a hypothetical situation.
May is more formal than might.
May is used to ask permission in a more formal way than can.(in question)
Might is occasionally used in formal situations
Both may and might are used to express the possibility of some future action; might is more tentative than may.

A: Currently, I am looking for a part-time position with the possibility of further development within it.

A: No.

"I study English to open up possibilities and I want to enjoy talk to other countries people." This is wrong.

"I'm studying English to open up business opportunities and to talk with people from different countries."
Correct.

"I want to have conversations with people overseas and broaden my business opportunities."
Correct.

A: 請到提問詳情頁確認

A: Oh ok then you can say: There is a slight possibility of me loving you.

A: I think you mean "He did the impossible and gained complete victory." or you could say, "In an impossible situation, he claimed complete victory." Also, there is an idiom we use "He snatched victory from the jaws of defeat!"

A: If you changed it to "there were" and "there was" it would be:

"I was not sure if that really happened, but there were no other possibilities. So I just say there was a high possibility that happened."

I prefer:

I am not sure if that really happened, but there are no other possibilities. So I just say there is a high possibility that it did.

A: "There's a chance [we'll/you'll/etc.] get in trouble." That sounds the most natural to me.

A: Probably.
