His comment makes me think that something bad is going to happen. For example: The neighbors mentioned their son is having a party Saturday night. (I predict lots of noise, trouble with the police, parking problems, etc.) The teacher said we may have a surprise exam tomorrow. (I haven't studied and I will do poorly if she gives us an exam now.) For six months we have paid the same price for gasoline, but today the price rose by 10%. (If gasoline is suddenly costing us 10% more, we can be sure that other items will also rise in price.) |
