✍️May and Might✍️

 ✍️ May and Might ✍️

               May and might can have the similar meaning. Might shows more politeness. We find may is used as in present tense and might in past. These modals are very important. We use them for permission. They add the meanings of possibility, permission, probability to the the main verb in a sentence. May is also used to express wishes. 

💁Permission 

May we see the bird?

May I come in?

You may go now. ( You are allowed to go now)

Might I ask you a question? ( More polite)


💁Possibility

May shows factual possibilities.

Present possibility

You may get this book at Mehta store.

Past possibility

Ram might have left his book at home.


💁Express wishes

 May god bless you with all happiness.

May his/ her soul rest in peace.


💁Probability

 They may be arriving tomorrow.

He might be away on holiday at the moment.

He might get the job.

                 An auxiliary lacks inherent semantic meaning but instead modifies the meaning of another verb it accompanies.

✍️Thank you very much.......👍
