Can you use "possible" without "it's" in a sentence like: "So you think it's the White House. Possible..." Or do you have to say: "So you think it's the White House. Possibly...."

1Yes, in colloquial speech a single word can be used to stand for a brief sentence, if that's what you were asking (it's unclear because of your use of suspension points).– Kate BuntingSep 18, 2019 at 8:07

Oh, I didn't see that from the queue. Also, not my downvote. I guess an example from the wild would make it better Sep 19, 2019 at 10:41
