Detailed Grammar notes:
Processing keyword: もしかすると〜かもしれない (moshikasuru to 〜kamoshirenai)
In this lesson, we'll explore the Japanese grammar point もしかすると〜かもしれない (moshikasuruto ~ kamoshirenai). This structure is used to express possibility or uncertainty, similar to saying "perhaps" or "might" in English. Understanding this pattern will enhance your ability to convey conjecture or speculation in Japanese conversations.
もしかすると〜かもしれない is used to indicate that something might be or could possibly be the case. It expresses a low degree of certainty, suggesting that the speaker thinks something is possible but isn't sure.
The structure combines the adverb もしかすると (perhaps, possibly) with the auxiliary verb かもしれない (might, may).
もしかすると + [Clause in Plain Form] + かもしれない
Part | Explanation |
---|---|
もしかすると | "Perhaps" or "Possibly" (adverb) |
Plain Form | Verb, い-Adj., な-Adj., or Noun in plain form |
かもしれない | "Might" or "May" (auxiliary verb expressing uncertainty) |
