 note = {Two groups of phrases, the first group, "seem", "appear" and "look like", and the second group, "possible", "likely" and "probable", as in the form of "it seems (that)..." and "it is possible (that)...", both express the speaker's prediction or supposition. The phrases in both groups have some common syntactic and semantic features, such as expressing future, present and past events and states, and taking negative and interrogative forms. There are also some differences between them, such as those in the former group co-occurring with "to me", while those of the latter cannot. In the course of the discussion, it will be shown that the phrases in both groups are used in almost the same way for the speaker's prediction and supposition but that they are different in that those in the former group express the speaker's subjective judgement based on his direct experience, while those in the latter group express judgement based on indirect evidence.},
