    Is "Es incluso posible que.." the correct way to say "Its even possible that..."

    Or should I say "Es posible que... incluso."

    Thanks if you can help me :p

    What's the context here?

    This could be correct.

    This is never correct.

    As Allandanyways says it depends on the context of the sentence. There may be easier/better ways to say it depending on what you are trying to say.

    I would have thought something like "También/todavia, es posible que..." would work or maybe even "Sea posible que...".

    Halloween Jack would be correct there.

    I would say either:

    También, es posible que...

    or

    Todavía, es posible que...

    (es incluso posible que... doesnt sound correct to me)

    Exactly. This is what I was saying the thing about the context for.

    @OP: If you are uncertain of the possibility of what it is you're trying to say/it's a prediction/unknown etc, use the second one, the subjunctive.

    If you're suggesting one possible outcome (i.e it's one or the other, one option out of 3 certain outcomes) use the indicative.

    As I said, depends heavily on context. I can't even explain it properly without knowing what you're trying to say but that would be a general idea.
