In general, your article is good. Really sorry to comment this, but you can’t use «He is maybe wrong» because the form of to be is included in «maybe». If you translated it into spanish, it would say «el es / está puede estar equivocado» I do appreciate your information, but in my opinion it is very important to be very careful when we give some grammatical information. Best regards.
I don’t think your observations are totally correct.
Hello, Eloina:
When we use the adverb «maybe» we still need to have a verb in the sentence, in this case is the verb «to be», which is correct.
Thanks for your comment!
Si dice que van detrás del auxiliar como es que dice «We will probably go to the beach tomorrow.»
Hola,
«Will» se considera un verbo auxiliar, por eso el adverbio va detrás :)
