Perhaps I'll go for a long walk on this beautiful summer day. Or perhaps I'll just rest.

Quizás iré a dar un largo paseo por este hermoso día de verano. O quizás sólo descansaré.

Tal vez voy a mirar una película esta noche.

Perhaps I will watch a movie this evening.

*I have a feeling that a future tense for mirar might be more appropriate, but I'm not quite there yet.

The "going to" future form is often used instead of the simple future. - ian-hill, Jul 30, 2014

Perhaps

There is a very nice song " Perhaps", sung by Doris Day. It is worth listening to it.

Hay una muy buena canción "Quizás", cantada por Doris Day. Vale la pena escucharlo.

Quizás algún día los científicos entiendan lo que sus teorías y experimentos dicen sobre la realidad. Para mí, es difícil entender cómo una partícula puede tomar una vía distinta a la de su espín (momento angular intrínseco).

Perhaps someday, scientists will understand what their theories and experiments are saying about reality. To me, it is difficult to understand how a particle can take a different path than that of its spin (intrinsic angular momentum)
