Abstract

The expression of probability in Spanish is one of the most problematic issues in the Spanish SL classroom, because it has numerous internal and external modality mechanisms that, in addition, can select one mood or can select indicative, approximative and/or subjunctive. The problem lies in the tenses terminological incongruity, as well as the little operative descriptions that follow the traditional model, classifying those mechanisms depending on their syntactic structure and which mood they select, as well as avoiding any attenuation and/or approximation pragmatic value.
