Eigentlich: if something is usually the Case, but this time it ins't Wohl: as a noun: Wohl means something along the lines of "well-being". As a particle it has different usages. It signifies a presumption the Speakers has. "Das ist so" = That's the case, whereas "das ist wohl so" = that seems to be the Case Wirklich is just truthfully.. i don't know what you don't unterstand about it. please provide an example, Doch is used as a reaction to a negative statement. "Dir geht es nicht gut! - Doch, mir geht es gut" Schon is "already". But it can also be used as "indeed"
