An adverb of certainty is a type of adverb that provides information about the level of certainty or confidence regarding an action, event, or statement.
These adverbs help convey whether something is likely, certain, or uncertain. Examples include “definitely,” “probably,” “certainly,” “possibly,” “surely,” “likely,” and “unlikely.”
Adverbs of certainty add context to sentences by indicating the degree of belief or conviction associated with the information being conveyed.
They assist in expressing a speaker’s confidence or hesitation, allowing for more precise and nuanced communication, particularly when discussing beliefs, opinions, or predictions.
