impossible or almost impossible to imagine
Too strange, surprising, or unlikely to imagine or believe as real.
รูปแบบการใช้:
it is inconceivable that [clause]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
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"*.

|
unimaginable (Focuses more on the difficulty of forming a mental picture, often for very large, extreme, or unusual things.)
