What’s the difference between may and might? They’re similar, but not always the same. Let’s break it down so you know when to use each one.
May is used to talk about things that are likely to happen or possible in the present or future. It can also be used to give or ask for permission.
Might is used when something is less certain or more hypothetical. It can also describe something that didn’t happen.
Both phrases mean something is possible, but:
🔹 May = likely, polite, or asking for permission
🔹 Might = less likely or more uncertain
