Deciding when to use “may” rather
than “might” can be tricky.
Because the difference between
these two verbs is quite small.
They both indicate that something
is possible, but “might” suggests slightly more uncertainty than “may”.
“I might take a trip
to Goa next year” means that maybe you will go to Goa, but maybe you
won’t.
“I may have a cup of
milk after dinner” expresses slightly more certainty that you’re going to drink
milk.
Even more confusing is the rule
that “may” becomes “might” in the past tense.
