🔰May/Might 🚩may 🔻We can use‘may’to ask for permission. However this is rather formal and not used very often in modern spoken English. 🔹May I borrow your pen? 🔹May we think about it? 🔹May I go now? 🔻We use‘may’to suggest something is possible. 🔹It may rain later today. 🔹I may not have time to do it today. 🔹Pete may come with us 🚩might 🔻We use‘might’to suggest a small possibility of something. Often we read that‘might’suggests a smaller possibility that‘may’, there is in fact little difference and‘might'is more usual than‘may’in spoken English. 🔹She might be at home by now but it’s not sure at all. 🔹It might rain this afternoon. 🔹I might not have time to go to the shops for you. 🔹I might not go. 🔻For the past, we use‘might have’. 🔹He might have tried to call while I was out. 🔹I might have dropped it in the street. @EnglishGrammarSecrets
