When to use Adverbs 大概, 好像, 一定, 必须, 差不多, 几乎

These adverbs go before the verb or adjective and show how sure the speaker is. 好像 “it seems” is a guess from what you see or hear, 大概 “probably” is a fair bet, and 一定 “surely, must be” is a confident conclusion: 你一定很累吧. 大概 also means “about” before a number: 大概十分钟. Unlike 一定, the other two can also stand at the start of the sentence.

他大概不来了。

我大概十分钟以后到。

  • 差不多 can be an adjective but 几乎 cannot: say 这两个差不多, not 这两个几乎.
