What is the Difference Between May and Might ?

What’s the difference between ‘May’ and ‘Might’?

These words are very similar but this video will help you know when to use them and when to

use a different word completely.

‘May’ is used when you’re asking for permission.

For example:

‘May I go to the restroom?’

Have you ever asked, ‘Can I go to the bathroom?’ and then had someone correct you and

say, ‘May I go to the restroom?’

When do you use Might?

‘Might’ is used when you are discussing the possibility of doing something. Maybe something

that you wouldn’t usually do.

For example:

‘Do you want to go skydiving?’

‘I might.’

Can you see the difference?

Do you use ‘May’ or ‘Might’ when asking for something to drink?

‘May I have something to drink?’

Do you use ‘May’ or ‘Might’ when responding to a question about your future plans?

‘Are you going to the movies with me tomorrow?’

‘I might.’

It’s that simple!
