The word "certain" // S&N Question types

I have a question about S & N Questions: I have seen twice now that the word "certain" is used in questions 11 & 19 of the S&N questions section, but I am unsure whether this word is an identifier of a S&N situation. What is the meaning of this word in terms of questions on the lsat? does it create a S&N situation where X -> not Y where why is the clause that follows "not certain" Can someone please clarify "not certain" "certain?" I would greatly appreciate it!

    @Deshawne-Peak I think I get what you're asking here, but please ping me if this doesn't help. I wouldn't look too much into the use of "certain" here. It may pop up in just about any type of question! I would treat it like any other word in the prompt, and just use it as part of the broader premise when you're putting together your S & N. (IE, it's just another letter in your acronym.) Does that make sense?
