Might, May and Could

What are we learning today?

You will use might, may and could to say that something is possible. You will use them when you are not sure.

Explanation

• Use might, may or could when you are not sure.
• Put a verb after them. Use the base verb.
• Make a negative with might not or may not.

Examples

1. The man might be waiting inside.
2. The stranger may be a friend.
3. It could be a long night.

Remember!

• Use subject + might, may or could + base verb.
• Do not add -s to the verb: She may go.
