GRAMMAR FOCUS

Describing What is Possible 4
may, might
We have learnt before that we use may and might in a formal way of asking and giving permission, although might is not used as commonly as may for this function.
Another use of may and might is to say that something is possible or may possibly happen.
Sometimes,mayexpressesslightlyhigherchancesofpossibilitywhereasmightsometimesexpresses
slightly lower chances of possibility.
Might is not the past of may and both are used to talk about the present and the future.
