How can I use the uncertain future with KA, KAB and KAP?

Ka, kab, kapab → may, may be able, to be able, can

If we hurry we may get there early.
Si nou prese nou ka rive bonè.

With $2,000 he may be able to get a reliable used car.
Ak $2,000 li ka jwenn yon bon machin dezyèm men.

If we make it before five, he might still be in the office.
Si nou rive anvan senkè, li kab nan biwo a toujou.




How about using FUTURE indicators AP, PRAL, or VA?


With a new president the country will be able to progress.
Avèk yon nouvo prezidan peyi a va kapab pwogrese.


M'ap ka mache byen apre operasyon.
I'll be able to walk better after the surgery.


Ou pral kapab pase egzamen apre ou kou preparasyon an.
You'll be able to pass the exam after you take the prep course.
