How do you use لابد and فلقد ?
Hi!
I've started studied arabic more seriously this fall and I'm currently texting with a language partner. Could someone help me with the use of the two tiny words لابد and فلقد ? I think I understand the sentences in general but I don't understand the usage of these words.

فلقد قرأت أنك تريد السفر إلى الأردن قريبا، صحيح؟
You wrote that you wanted to travel to Jordan soon, right?

لابد أن هذا شيء متعب
That must be tiring!

My questions:
1. Are the translations correct?
2. What do the above mentioned words mean on their own?
3. Could you write some simple sentences with each and explain when to use these words?

Any help would make me very happy!
Anton
