Maybe and perhaps

They are both adverbs used when we think something is possible but we're not sure.

"Maybe" is informal and we use it in front or end position.

"Perhaps" is formal and we use it in front, mid and end position.

Perhaps is a word that I never seen before, or never heard in an english conversation. I'm sorry but do you have an example of sentence that someone could use this word?

You can use "perhaps" as you use "maybe". It's just more formal.

Example : Perhaps it wasn't a good idea after all.
