Why can't I use "sure" here?
Thanks for your help.

Hi kimhoa_coga, a person can be sure about something while a situation can be clear. For example, you can say "I'm sure you'll pass the exam with ease". Or: "It is obvious that you will pass the exam with ease."

when it's a situation, we use clear/obvious. And, when the subject is a situation, we just use the pronoun it. That is what I understand.[/quote]

Hey there, could we say "certain"?
