Sense 1 is used at such a frequency that it is often absent in a normal English translation, instead expressed with general inflection of voice, or context. It can also imply agreement or the statement of a fact inferred from a situation's appearance, similar to Englishapparently. A common usage of it is in conjunction with particleよ(yo), asよね(yo ne).
Sense 3 is similar to filler particleさ(sa) in usage and placement, but is different in that it sounds more gentle, and also can be used in more polite situations (e.g. the common filler usage ofですね(desu ne), whereです(desu) becomes part of the filler particle, and ignores its own grammatical meaning and usual syntax). It is especially used when making statements directly to or about people so as not to beassumptive and thus rude.
