Talvez & deve ser
Carregando traduções...
Comece pela grafia, porque ela derruba gente que já fala bem: maybe numa palavra é o advérbio "talvez" e costuma abrir a frase; may be em duas é verbo, e vai no meio. Trocar uma pela outra não é detalhe de digitação, é erro de classe gramatical. Depois vem a dedução, que o português resolve com entonação e o inglês resolve com modal: must aqui não obriga ninguém, ele conclui — "deve estar dormindo" é uma aposta baseada em evidência, não uma ordem. E can't faz o oposto exato nesse uso: nega a possibilidade em vez de negar a permissão.
Traduzir frase inteira ensina o que traduzir palavra não ensina: a ordem, o tempo verbal e a preposição só aparecem quando a frase existe. Cada uma destas aceita 10.9 formas diferentes em média — porque quase nunca há uma resposta única, e reconhecer as variantes é metade do trabalho de entender quem fala.
