We use “may” and “might” when something is possible, but not 100% certain.
Examples:
- Yesterday, I was offered a job in Mexico City. I may accept it. (I am not certain.)
- My sister might come with us. (She has not decided.)
- It might rain tomorrow. (It is possible.) They may not know the answer.
FORM
Subject + may (not) + verb
Subject + might (not) + verb
“May” and “might” remain the same for all persons. “I may”, “you may”, “she may”, “we may”, etc. When we use “may” or “might”, we are talking about the future or the present.
2.) We also use “may” to ask permission.
Examples.
- May I borrow your pen? (Can I borrow your pen?)
- May we use the bathroom?
- May I look at your photo album?
FORM
May + Subject + Verb?
