Hello :) I agree with the other comments, as well. I will add that using "must" or "will" is not necessarily used to show some degree of possibility. So forget those words altogether! As stated by the others in this thread, "must" is a requirement, and "will" is stating a requirement that will happen in the future. When I think about the degree of possibility in a sentence, I use words like "may" or "might" because there is no guarantee that the action will take place. I feel that your first sentence example is closer to a "possibility statement". The following examples are more like requirements. :) Possibility Statements: a) You may listen to me. b) You might listen to me. c) You could listen to me.

Hi! I read your writing and it's a very interesting topic. Overall, your writing is very good! I made some short comments below: a) "History remembers the humans who were lions"... I like this phrase. While it makes sense to me, the phrase itself is unique rather than natural. b) "The name of Indian hunger striker..." This beginning is grammatically correct although it reads less natural. In the US, we would refer to the "person" and then state what they did; for example, "Toaha Rahman, an Indian man who staged a hunger strike for 168 days, stands out amongst them." Good luck with the rest of your writings! Hugs, Phoebe

Hola :) Mi nombre es Phoebe soy estadounidense y vivo en los estados unidos. Estoy aprendiendo español pero no tengo mucha practica hablando con hablantes nativos. Hablo español despacio y con muchas errores así que si quieres practica con una nativa de inglés y desde EEUU entonces, charlar conmigo, Lol!! El piano es mi instrumento favorito -- no lo sé como tocar pero, me gusta escuchar; además me gusta la guitarra acústico. Que más? Claro que si me gusta música, todos tipos excepto "heavy metal" y "country music". Soy administradora de proyectos de tecnología de información y madre de dos hijos. Estoy una aprender seria y no tengo mucho tiempo peder. Además, esta obvio que necesita ayudar con español...jajaja! Hi! My name is Phoebe, I'm American and I live in the United States. I'm currently learning Spanish but I don't have a lot of opportunities to speak with native speakers where I live. I can speak Spanish, albeit very slowly and with many mistakes so if you want to practice with a native we can chat :)

The first sentence agrees with the grammar tense: "attempts", and "say"; however, the writer appears to be trying too hard to make their point. If this is for academia, perhaps the construction makes sense. However, it seems to me that there are too many commas. A semicolon is useful for the final thought. For example, "..or insults and illogical reasoning; you just may prove that...". I'm not a teacher of English grammar, I'm just a curious student. :))

Journal 3 (1)

Last week, at long last, my wife smashed (finished/nailed) her internship, which took her 8 weeks. Taking this opportunity, I considered how I’d be able to help her out. In doing so, one thing that I’ve been only talking to her about, that, someday, I’d make sure of doing comes to me (occurs to me), which was cooking. Actually, it was not that I’ve really craved to do that, but that I’ve regarded it as a duty to do as a partner. Frankly speaking, I’ve been neglecting ‘this duty’, excusing to myself, something like ‘I’ve never done any cooking in my whole life so I’m afraid of doing any'.

At long last, my wife smashed (finished/nailed) her internship last week which took her 8 weeks. I'm taking this opportunity to consider how I can help her out. One thing I've been talking about is cooking for her. Honestly, I've not wanted to cook but I've felt it was my duty as a partner. In fact, I've been purposely neglecting this duty by telling myself, 'I've never cooked in my life', and I've been afraid to start.

Well done! And don't be afraid to cook :) It's actually fun!!
