If you have a look at the link below, you'll see that it's impossible to give a short, comprehensive answer to your question about "sollen": http://www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/sollen#Bedeutung1j Also, for "mögen" (Vermutung) please see http://www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/moegen#Bedeutung1a under 1a. "to infer" has two meanings in German. 1. etwas andeuten: "By flashing her rings, she inferred that she was married" - Sie deutete an, daß sie verheiratet sei, indem sie ihre Ringe blitzen ließ. 2. etwas aus etwas schließen, schlußfolgern, eine Schlußfolgerung ziehen: "He inferred from the ring on her finger that she was married" - Aus dem Ring an ihrem Finger schloß er, daß sie verheiratet sei. Please be careful with "also" (as in your question) - in German it can't be used in the sense of "additionally". You'd have to say e.g. "außerdem". All the best, Susanne
