impossible or almost impossible to imagine
Too strange, surprising, or unlikely to imagine or believe as real.
الگوی کاربرد:
it is inconceivable that [clause]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes use *inconceivable* for something that is only a little hard or complicated, where words like *difficult* or *hard to imagine* are better. *Inconceivable* is strong and suggests something is almost beyond belief. Another common mistake is using the wrong pattern, such as *"inconceivable of that he left"*; the natural patterns are *"it is inconceivable that he left"* or *"his leaving is inconceivable"*.
