Module 5: What you will be able to do
- read होगा as an inference rather than only as a future;
- build inferences about the past (आया होगा) and about now (सो रहा होगा);
- fix the reading with a time adverbial: अभी for a guess, कल इस समय or शाम को for a prediction - bare कल will not do it, since it means both "tomorrow" and "yesterday";
- place confidence on a scale from यक़ीनन down to मुश्किल है कि;
- choose the form after शायद and know that the choice carries meaning;
- separate ज़रूर from ज़रूरी है;
- deny an inference with ज़रूरी नहीं कि;
- name your source: सुना है, कहते हैं, दिखता है, लगता है;
- keep कि after मुझे लगता है, or I think turns into I like.
Russian supplies nearly all the vocabulary. Three things are learned from scratch:
the default reading of होगा, the choice of form after शायद, and the necessity of कि
with लगता है.
