Improve Your English – Lesson 20: MAYBE I THINK
MAYBE I THINK
A common expression used by many students is maybe I think when they are expressing their thoughts about something.
The problem is that maybe expresses uncertainty, so using it with I think suggests that the speaker is not sure whether he thinks (or believes) what he is saying.
Don’t say: Maybe I think I will become a reporter after I graduate from university.
Do say: I think I will become a reporter after I graduate from university.
or,
Do say: Maybe I will become a reporter after I graduate from university
