Hi I read the following sentences on a website: (the link is here)
1. Would it be possible for me to leave a message for her?
2. Use public transport whenever possible (= when you can).
3. It is quite possible that the river will flood again.
I got the idea from a web (the link is here), that If something is possible, it can happen. But possible does not mean that something will happen for certain or even that it is very likely to happen.
So is that to say, it's better for those sentences above use probable instead of possible?
