Tonight's quick English lesson...
 
the word(s) is(are) "maybe" and "may be."

i want to know if there is a difference and if im using the two correctly.

1. Do you want to go to the park tomorrow?
I dont know, maybe if the weather is nice.

2. Resilience is the ablilty to survive in conditions that may be difficult for others.


im sure #1 is correct, and about 90% sure that #2 is correct. would it be a mistake to use "maybe" in #2?

:happysad:

you may be correct, but maybe not.

qtiger May 2, 2004 07:44 PM

Those are correct.

I wouldn't use maybe for #2.

You could use maybe in #2, but it isn't proper usage.
