Hi,
What' s the difference between "likely" and "probably" when they are used as adverb?
Dictionaries told me they all mean that something will happen or to be true with a possibility of more than 50%.
I found some information which told me that "likely" can be used with a subject of somebody or something whereas "probably" can just be used with a subject of something. However, when I saw more sentence, I found that was not the case?
Please help me to clear the difference up, thanks.;-)
