** Comment by the owner: The textbook writers tried to apply the Japanese でしょう-grammar rule to the English language. While these example sentences might be grammatically correct, they are essentially the same as the 1st grade grammar points: "Do they eat cheese?" "Is Mongolian sumo popular?" While finding commonalities between the local language and a foreign langauge is a great mnemonic strategy, I belleve it is ethnocentric to force your language's grammar onto another language.
