Eliz:    Now it’s time for Gary’s Tips with Gary Engleton!

Gary:    Hello, Elizabeth!  Today I’ll be talking about expressions of uncertainty.

    In today’s Business Dialog, Harry is looking for his boss, Marilyn.

    When he asks Carol, Carol uses the expression “I’m not sure” to show her uncertainty.

Harry:    Do you know where she is?

Carol:    I’m not sure.

Gary:    Harry asks again, and Carol uses the word “might” to suggest some possibilities of where Marilyn might be.

Harry:    Do you have any idea where she could be?

Carol:    Well, she might be with a customer.

    She said that Sid from Corona Dot Com might come by.

Gary:    Later in the conversation, Carol uses the expressions “I think she said something about...” and “I’m pretty sure that...” to show her uncertainty.

    Let’s listen:

Harry:    Any other ideas?

Carol:    Well, I think that she said something about a meeting with the CEO.

Harry:    What time was the meeting?

Carol:    I’m pretty sure that she said about ten o’clock.

Gary:    In contrast to these expressions of uncertainty, notice how she uses the word “definitely” to show when she is certain.

Harry:    But I understand that she did come in today.

Carol:    Yes, she definitely came in.

    I talked with her about an hour ago, at nine o’clock.

Gary:    Thanks for listening today. We’ll see you again next time!
