Grammar 语法
Opinion: 觉得 + clause
。
觉得 (juéde) = to feel / to think. It introduces a whole sentence: 我觉得这本书很好. Ask someone's view: 你觉得怎么样?
Maybe: 可能 + verb
。
可能 (kěnéng) before the verb = maybe / probably. 他可能不来 = He might not come. 可能 can also stand alone as 'possible': 不可能! = Impossible!
Hope: 希望 + clause
。
希望 (xīwàng) takes a full sentence after it, like 觉得. 希望你快乐 = I hope you're happy.
Soon: 快…了
！
快 + verb/adj + 了 = 'about to…'. 快八点了 = It's almost eight. 天快黑了 = It's getting dark. Also: 要…了 means the same.
