In English we show uncertainty about an action using "May" or "Might".
e.g. "He may go", "He might say so", "He may not tell us" etc.
These sentence indicate uncertainty in a future action.
Interestingly, in usual Gujarati there no special form to indicate uncertainty in future action.
In Gujarati, sentence is formed in simple future tense, but a word like કદાચ (kadAch) etc. is said to indicate uncertainty.
Example :-
He may go -> Probably, he will go -> કદાચ એ જશે (kadAch e jashe)
e.g. "He may go", "He might say so", "He may not tell us" etc.
