In this episode, Linda takes a look at the differences between “may” and “might”. Enjoy the episode! <br /> <br />Linda is a German/American ITTT alumna, teaching English in South Korea. <br /> <br />Be sure to like and share this video if you find it helpful. <br /> <br />Contrary to popular belief, may and might are not interchangeable as they have slightly different meanings. <br /> <br />‘May’ refers to a possibility and ‘might’ conveys more uncertainty. <br /> <br />Let’s take a look at some examples: <br /> <br />There are dark clouds in the sky. It may rain later today. <br /> <br />The dark clouds in the sky indicate a possibility of rain. <br /> <br />I’m sick but I might come to the party. <br /> <br />In this example, the speaker is does not feel well and he is uncertain about attending the party. So, there is only a slight chance that he might actually go to the party. <br /> <br />Therefore, always look out for the context and choose the right word based upon the level of possibility. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />That’s it for today. See you next time.
