Which one of the things the witches said about Macbeth is about to come true ( you know but he doesn't)?
"All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Cawdor!" Macbeth is actually already Thane of Cawdor when the witches. Macbeth was fighting the Norwegians and Macdonweald at Forres when someone else was fighting the Norwegians and Cawdor at Fife, so Macbeth is not even aware that the Thane of Cawdor is an attainted traitor. Hence he scoffs at the idea that he could be Cawdor when "the Thane of Cawdor lives, a prosperous gentleman". However, Ross, Duncan, the witches and the audience know that Macbeth is the new Thane of Cawdor, even though he doesn't.
What is significant about Macbeth receiving the title of 'thane of cawdor'?
Well the three witches tell him that he will be thane of cawdor and king someday but he doesn't really believe them. So after receiving the news that he is thane of cawdor he starts to think that maybe the witches were telling the truth and he will be king. This then leads to him killing the King so that he can become King like the witches told him.
How does Macbeths encounter with the witches show hat the play will probably be a tragedy?
It doesn't. On the contrary, if you didn't already know from the title of the play, (The Tragedie of Macbeth, as it's called in the First Folio), you would think from what the witches said that everything will be going great for Macbeth: he's Thane of Glamis, he is going to become Thane of Cawdor, and he will eventually become King. Who could complain about that?
