Di akhir lesson ini, kamu bisa:
- Membuat prediksi dengan tingkat kepastian: probably, likely, definitely.
- Menjelaskan rencana proyek dengan 'We're going to...' dan 'We're planning to...'.
- Menggabungkan prediksi dan rencana saat membahas masa depan bisnis.
Penjelasan (ID)
Saat membahas masa depan proyek atau bisnis, kamu jarang 100% yakin. Karena itu, penting untuk bisa menyatakan tingkat kepastian, dari ragu sampai yakin, lalu membedakannya dari rencana yang sudah konkret.
1. Tingkat kepastian (prediksi). Tempatkan adverb setelah will:
| Kepastian | Ungkapan | Contoh |
|---|---|---|
| ~50% | will probably | We'll probably need more staff. |
| ~80% | will most likely | It'll most likely sell well. |
| ~95% | will definitely | We'll definitely finish on time. |
| rendah | probably won't | We probably won't launch this year. |
2. Pola It's likely that.... Cara formal dan rapi untuk prediksi:
- It's likely that the market will grow.
- It's unlikely that we'll get approval this week.
Tip: Setelah I think / I don't think, sering pakai will: I think we'll hit the target. / I don't think it'll be a problem. (geser "tidak" ke kata kerja pertama).
3. Menjelaskan rencana proyek. Untuk rencana yang sudah ada, pakai be going to atau be planning to:
- We're going to launch the app in March.
- We're planning to expand to two new cities.
- The team is going to focus on growth next quarter.
Gabungkan keduanya saat presentasi: mulai dari rencana → tambahkan prediksi. "We're going to launch in March, and we think sales will probably double by summer."
Examples (English)
"It's likely that demand will rise after the holidays." "We're planning to open a second office, probably in Surabaya." "Honestly, we'll definitely need a bigger budget for this." "I don't think the competitor will catch up this year."
