Japanese Homework Help?

[mizzcriss]

I'm learning about -でしょう (deshou)、-かもしれない (kamoshirenai)、and -かな (kana). I have to fill in the blanks but the sentences seem strange so I must not be interpreting them correctly. I understood the first few sentences on the homework but not these. Please help if you can. I'm not trying to get only answers but understanding, thanks

あの男の学生は日本語のきょうがしょをともっていうか ら、きっと___________________でしょう。
Ano otoko no gakusei wa nihongo no kyougasho wo tomotte iru kara, kitto_________ deshou.

It sounds to me like "That male student is burning his japanese textbook so, surely he's (or it's) ________" But that sounds crazy lol

今日は、とても寒くて、くもがたくさん___________かあ 轣Aよるは_________かもしれませんね。
Kyou wa, totemo samukute, kumo ga takusan ______ kara, yoru wa ______ kamoshiremasen.

"Today, and its very cold, clouds will probably _______ therefore, the night might _______." I have no idea if this is close or what to put in the blanks.

山下さんはスポーツが上手_______から、 きっとテニスも_______でしょ う。
Yamashita-san wa supootsu ga jouzu______kara, kitto tenisu mo _____ deshou.

"Yamashita is good at sports _______ therefore, surely probably ______ tennis too." Again that's my interpretation and I have no idea what to put in the blanks.

小川さんは、ねむそうですね。たくさんしゅくだいが__ ______から、きのうのよるはぜんぜん___________かもあ ｵれないね。
Ogawa-san wa, nemu sou desu ne. Takusan shukudai ga ______ kara, kinou no yoru wa zenzen _____ kamoshirenai ne.

"Ogawa is sleeping, huh? His homework probably _______ so, last night probably _______ not at all." I have no clue about this one either.

Thanks if you can help to guide me on the right track or help me translate them better.

There must be typos in the sentence. It must be きょうかしょ, and may be もっているから.(と is not needed.)

今日は、とても寒くて、くもがたくさん___________ から、よるは_________かもしれませんね。

くもがたくさん（）から doesn't have the meaning of "probably". This is the fact the speaker actually observed.

Since it's very cold today and the clouds () many, the night might ().

The weather is cold and many clouds are in the sky, so the night weather will...?

山下さんはスポーツが上手_______から、 きっとテニスも_______でしょう。

Your interpretation is correct. 上手 is a na-adjective, so you need to put something after 上手 in order to connect to から.

Mr.Yamashita is good at sports, so probably he () tennis too.
It's very clear, isn't it?;-)

小川さんは、ねむそうですね。たくさんしゅくだいが________から、きのうのよるはぜんぜん___________ かもしれないね。

ねむそう doesn't mean "to be sleeping". Haven't you learned "the stem of adjectives + そう" form?

Again, たくさんしゅくだいが（）から doesn't have "probably". This is the fact the speaker already knows.

Thank you so much for your help
Yes, I'm sorry there were typos in the first sentence, but the to motte is what was confusing me the most because the dictionary said that means burning, but my teacher might have made a typo on the paper.

ねむそう doesn't mean "to be sleeping". Haven't you learned "the stem of adjectives + そう" form?

I actually haven't learned that form, what does it mean? I assumed nemu was "to sleep" and the rest was "sou desu ne" but thinking about it more it would have been nemuru or netteiru (sleeping).

And rereading my post I realize I was getting たくさん confused with たぶん for some reason, hence a lot of my confusion LOL

Thanks so much again

Yeah, indeed ねむ can be a conjugation of the verb ねむる, but actually it's the stem of an i-adjective ねむい in this case, meaning "sleepy". "The stem of adjectives + そう" means "to seem/look like ~", thus, 小川さんはねむそう means "Mr./Ms. Ogawa seems sleepy".
