    The document discusses predictions and the levels of certainty associated with different modal verbs used to make predictions. It notes that "will" and "won't" imply the highest level of certainty about predictions coming true or not true. "Might" and "might not" imply less certainty, suggesting something is possible but not guaranteed. "May" and "may not" imply the lowest level of certainty, where something is merely possible but not expected or assured.
