Maybe / possibly with 可能

Structure (Subject) + 可能 + Verb

可能 (kěnéng) expresses possibility: "maybe, perhaps, it could be that". 他可能不来了 = "he may not come after all". It goes before the verb. It works as an adverb ("possibly") and also as an adjective/noun ("possible / possibility"). To strengthen: 很可能 ("very likely").

Examples

他tā可kě能néng不bù来lái了le。
He may not come after all.
明míng天tiān可kě能néng下xià雨yǔ。
It might rain tomorrow.
这zhè可kě能néng是shì真zhēn的de。
