Model answer
Certain: sans aucun doute, à coup sûr, certainement. Probable: probablement, sans doute, il est probable que + subj. Possible: peut-être, il se peut que + subj. Doubt: je doute que + subj., il est peu probable que + subj.
Why
Watch the subjunctive trigger: probability expressions take subjunctive, certainty does not.
