We make questions by putting the subject after may/might:

May I ? Could I Might I ?Etc.

The negative forms are may not and might not..

We use may:

when we are not sure about something:

Jack may be coming to see us tomorrow.

Oh dear! Its half past ten. We maybe late for the meeting.

There may not be very many people there.

to make polite requests:

May I borrow the car tomorrow?

May we come a bit later?

When we use may not for a refusal it is emphatic:

You may not!

You may not borrow the car until you can be more careful with it.

We use might:

when we are not sure about something:

I might see you tomorrow.

It looks nice, but it might be very expensive.

Its quite bright. Itmight not rain today.

As thepast tense of may for requests:

He asked if he might borrow the car.

They wanted to know if they might come later.

Forvery polite requests:

Might I ask you a question?

Might we just interrupt for a moment?

We use may have and might haveto show that something has possibly happened now or happened at some

time in the past:

Present tenses with a future meaning.

Sometimes we use the present continuousto talk about the furure. We use it when

we want to talk about what we have already arranged to do.

In all the above sentences you can use the 'going to' structure instead. The

meaning is the same in both cases.

On the other hand, we use the present simple tensewith a future meaning when we

want to talk about programmes, and timetables, for example, when we want to talk

about arrivals of trains, opening hours of banks and so on.


11/11

To remember: Use the present continuous or the going to structure for

personal arrangements. Do not use the present simple!
