You do not have q licence yet , do you?
でしょうis like ですbut with less certainty, It's used when someone is pretty sure something is that way but not entirely.
it's a bit like ' probably' but that's not actually what is means.
it's often used when someone want to see if someone else agrees with them before committing to it,too
明日も雨でしょう Probably rain tomorrow too..
