Responses to a level 1 Major opening
1NT 'forcing' shows 6-12 HCP and doesn't give any other indication. Sometimes this is the only possible bid when you are not strong enough to shift to the 2-level
Jacoby 2NT. This is a very precise bid, 4+ trumps & 13+ support points.
RKC Blackwood 4NT. With a strong hand, to directly ask about the opener's key cards count.

You are not fitted and do not have 4 cards in ♠... Bid 1NT, round forcing.
