So if the weather forecast says there&#8217;s a 5% probability of snow tomorrow, you can say there&#8217;s a slight chance of snow.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll often see chance used together with percentages &#8211; doctors say there&#8217;s <strong>a 90% chance<\/strong> he&#8217;ll recover completely from the injury, or there&#8217;s a <strong>50% chance<\/strong> <strong>of rain<\/strong> this weekend.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-19104\" src=\"https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/clouds-1293230_640-300x173.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/clouds-1293230_640-300x173.png 300w, https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/clouds-1293230_640.png 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When something increases the probability, we can say it <strong>boosts, improves, or increases the chance<\/strong> (or chances). Getting good grades in high school boosts the chance of being accepted to an elite college.<\/p>\n<p>When something decreases the probability, we can say it <strong>lessens, reduces, or lowers the chance<\/strong>. Brushing your teeth regularly lowers the chances of getting cavities.<\/p>\n<p>And when you think there&#8217;s absolutely no possibility of something happening, you can say there&#8217;s <strong>no chance<\/strong> or something <strong>doesn&#8217;t stand a chance.<\/strong> For example, if a very weak basketball team is going to play against the best team in the league, you can say they don&#8217;t stand a chance of winning, or there&#8217;s no chance they&#8217;ll win.<\/p>\n<p>A very informal way to say there\u2019s no chance is to exclaim, <strong>\u201cfat chance!\u201d<\/strong> Again, this means there\u2019s absolutely no possibility of success. It can be considered a little rude \u2013 so if talking about professional sports teams not winning, it\u2019s probably OK to say \u201cfat chance,\u201d but don\u2019t say it if your best friend is talking about her daughter hoping to win a tennis match.<\/p>\n<p>When talking about chance as an opportunity for a good thing, we often describe it as <strong>a big chance, a wonderful chance<\/strong>, or if the opportunity is extremely rare, <strong>a once-in-a-lifetime chance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s say you&#8217;re selected for an astronaut training program, you might have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to go to the moon.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19105\" src=\"https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/astronaut-11080_640.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"408\" height=\"277\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/astronaut-11080_640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/astronaut-11080_640-300x204.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 408px) 100vw, 408px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When you have a great opportunity, you should <strong>grasp, seize, or jump at the chance<\/strong> to do it &#8211; these all mean to take action immediately and with excitement.<\/p>\n<p>But if you fail to take action, then you would <strong>blow your chance, miss the chance, or waste the chance<\/strong> &#8211; meaning lose the opportunity. You could also say you <strong>let the chance slip by<\/strong> \u2013 you let it pass without taking action.<\/p>\n<p>However, you might get <strong>a second chance<\/strong> &#8211; a new opportunity to do that thing you didn&#8217;t do before. Maybe you tried to get onto a competitive soccer team and you weren&#8217;t selected, but next year you&#8217;ll have a second chance &#8211; you&#8217;ll try again.<\/p>\n<p>If it&#8217;s your final opportunity to do something before that opportunity goes away, then it&#8217;s your <strong>last chance.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-19106\" src=\"https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/hourglass-23654_640-179x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"179\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/hourglass-23654_640-179x300.png 179w, https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/hourglass-23654_640.png 381w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 179px) 100vw, 179px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When you hope you\u2019ll get an opportunity to do something, you can say you would <strong>welcome the chance<\/strong> to do it. Maybe someone invites you to do some volunteer work, and you would welcome the chance to help the community.<\/p>\n<p>When you think someone else should get a chance because of fairness or because that person has merit, you could say they <strong>deserve a chance<\/strong> to do something. If your sister is an actress and she\u2019s very good, but she\u2019s never selected for an important role, you could say she deserves a chance to play the leading role, because you think she should get that opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>Again, these are all words that go together naturally with the word chance. When you learn these common combinations of words, then it\u2019s easier to put them together so that your speaking sounds natural, and not a little strange.<\/p>\n<p>Come get your copy of the <a href=\"https:\/\/espressoenglish.lpages.co\/1000-collocations-in-10-minutes-a-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>1000 collocations e-book<\/strong><\/a> to learn even more.
