Transcription is the process of putting spoken words or thoughts on a piece of paper in written form. This methods is used for various purposes. For example in business meetings in the form of taking minutes and in other several radio or telephonic purposes.

Following is the properly transcribed options from the choices given in the question;

Answer 1: She really didn’t know how to accept the news.

Answer 2:We are going to Paris in a few days.

Answer 3: It’s raining today, so unless you want to get drenched, you’re going to need your umbrella.

Answer:

«We going to Paris in a few day.»

Explanation:

The reason I say this is because if you read the Transcription Style Guide, it states that you are not to correct the speaker’s grammar. So, although in the real world, » We are going to Paris in a few days,» would be correct, for the purpose of abiding by the instructions per Style Guide, we would not add any words to the sentence to make it grammatically correct. I may be wrong, and if so, PLEASE bring it to my attention as I would like to know the answer as well! But definitely take a look at the guide to be sure!

Talking about the Future impossibility

Can I say these following sentences when I talk about a thing that is impossible in the future?

1. It can’t rain tomorrow.
2. It is impossible to rain tomorrow.
3. It is not possible to rain tomorrow.
4. It is impossible that it will rain tomorrow.
5. It is not possible that it will rain tomorrow.

I think the following are correct:

1. It can’t rain tomorrow.
4. It is impossible that it will rain tomorrow.
5. It is not possible that it will rain tomorrow.
and
6. It isn’t possible that it will rain tomorrow.

1. It can’t rain tomorrow is possible, but it is not a prediction of the weather tomorrow. It means that rain tomorrow is unthinkable, because I am planning to do something that needs dry weather.

2. and 3. are wrong: I don’t think the impersonal «it» can multi-function in this way: you need a new «it» for the weather.

4. and 5. are sort of OK, but there are more idiomatic alternatives.

Luluw0ngs

Could you tell me what more idiomatic alternatives you are referring to.
Are they as follows?

1.It is certain that it will not rain tomorrow
2.It can’t possibly rain tomorrow ( fancy that, just one adverb,possibly,makes two sentences meaning different)
3.It will certainly not rain
4. It is certain not to rain tomorrow.

2. «It can’t possibly rain tomorrow» is not a prediction of tomorrow’s weather. As I said in #3, it means that I refuse to consider the possibility that it might rain tomorrow.

«Can» has two completely different meanings
a) a thing happens with some frequency, at least sometimes (It can rain here but it is rare); but if you say «tomorrow» that precludes this interpretation
b) there is no physical impediment or (at least informally) permission has been granted.

Idiomatically, we say «It can’t rain tomorrow» to mean «I refuse to grant permission for it to rain tomorrow» and hence «I refuse to accept that it might rain tomorrow».

3. Some people would say this, but personally I feel that «will» has a feeling of probability and prediction, and therefore does not sit comfortably with «certainly».

4. Some people would say this, but I might avoid it in very careful writing. I feel that «it is certain» (it referring to the gods of chance) and «it won’t rain» (it referring to the gods of the weather) are not entirely comfortable sharing the same subject (the solitary it).

It’s nor sure it will rain tomorrow.

What is wrong with this sentence?

My claim is that there is nothing wrong with saying:

It is not sure.
Like in:

They said it was going to rain, but that is not sure, it’s not sure it is going to rain.

It does sound off sorta, jeje, but why is it wrong?:-?

Why should it have to be I’m not sure?

T hey said it was going to rain, but that is not sure, it’s not sure it is going to rain.

it’s not sure it is going to rain.

You have two occurrences of the impersonal pronoun ‘it’ in the sentence:

«It is going to rain.» Here, ‘it’ is being used in the normal subject position in statements about time, distance, or weather.

So, when you write, it’s not sure.

we come back to the issue, who or what is the ‘it’ that has the higher intellectual judgment to weigh up factors, reason, and express a possibility?
A dog or cat? as in «it’s raining cats and dogs.» and they may not feel like participating in this particular downpour, thank you very much
If man, woman, or meteorologist, why are they referred to by the inanimate pronoun instead of ‘he’ or ‘she’?

it= the fact that

It is not sure = the fact whether it is going to rain or not.

Actually we say: It’s going to rain tomorrow.

So this statement might be true or not: it is not sure it is going to rain, it is surely going to rain-

That is a very logical answer, Clark

Then the answer to that clue might have been: it’s nor certain that it will rain tomorrow.

Is the tense correct here? Can one also use «going to rain».
