OK, a beginner's question, I'm sure ... but even so:

In Ilkay's post "Все боялись...", it's followed by the conjunction как бы - and I didn't know that one yet. (haven't gotten further yet than "...,чтобы..." and "...,...ли...." )

Could anyone tell me after which verbs to use как бы , and maybe give some examples of phrases? And maybe a few with the two other conjunctions as well, so I can get a feel for all three of them?
