Oh, and i guess this thread is for any questions about はず that I’m not feeling very well to answer right now

So you made a new thread…to let people ask questions, about a single word? o.o

I got a question, when you use はず, and you “ね” to make it an inquistive statement. Does it become so?

For example.
ボッビさんはコーヒーを飲むはずね？

It just become inquisitive right? I would imagine, but what would I know.

let it also be known, I only gave the lesson a quick once over. I’m redoing it again. I am beginning to like this little peice of grammar.

also, what happens when you are telling someone to expect something? て-form involvement?

see, sinisterT-pain has some questions

first question, i would believe so. “Isn’t it expected that BobbyJudo drinks coffee?”

second question: i would think thats something different. im thinking it of the context of something like “Expect your salary to go down.” In which case, i dont think はず is used.

I prefer to think of it as “should be”, “bound to be”, “must be”, etc. instead of “expect to be”, but I guess that’s just me.

Anyone else notice there were a handful of errors in that chapter that should have been spotted during proofreading? Just little things like missing words, extra words, etc.. I mean, you can still understand what he is saying, but it’s a little unprofessional, I feel.
