When To Use The Modal Verbs May And Might
When To Use The Modal Verbs May And Might
22 de out. de 2020 / Inglês / 4 minutos lidos

 

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: “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?


 

Let’s practice!

 

Form sentences using “may” and “might”.

 

Examples:

- We don’t know if there will be good weather tomorrow.

- There may be good weather tomorrow. The weather might be good tomorrow.
