Example of Doubtful Sentences
Spanish Classes / / July 04, 2021
The sentences doubtful are the sentences that express doubt, possibility or insecurity of something happening or being done. Doubtful sentences generally are formed with the so-called doubters, that is, adverbs in a way that indicate that something may or may not happen. Some of these words that express doubt or possibility are the following:
- Maybe
- Perhaps
- Probably
- Possibly
- Surely
- If only
- Perhaps
- Can
- Can be
- Maybe
Doubting sentences can also be constructed using conditional verb conjugations both directly, as is the use of the conjugations of the verbs power, do, have, be, forming some structures such as following:
- It could happen…
- I could talk…
- I would do my best ...
- Will have to see…
- It would be easy if ...
These verb forms can also be combined with a negative form, to form hesitant sentences:
- It would not be possible…
- You would never have ...
Another form of hesitant sentences:
Doubtful sentences can also be constructed using references to the divinities or superior forces, and which are very frequent in Spanish:
I wish... (from the Arabic sha'a Allah: If God Willing)
- God willing…
- God willing ...
- If fortune smiles on me ...
- If we are lucky…
- If luck favors us ...
Most doubtful sentences are in the form of declarative sentences:
We are probably late.
I might be wrong.
There are also doubtful sentences in the form of exclamatory and interrogative sentences. In these cases, in addition to the doubtful adjectives and phrases already mentioned, the same context of the sentence can express the doubt.
Can you handle that task?
Do you think you will finish?
I don't know if I can!
Could do it!
Another way to form doubting sentences is to combine a conditional form with a verb form that indicates the possibility of something happening; That is, if the condition occurs, there is a possibility that something will happen, although it will not necessarily be the case:
If it doesn't rain, it might.
If he comes, maybe I will tell you.
