比较may和might

编辑:高中作文网

  1) 表示允许或请求;表示没有把握的推测;may 放在句首,表示祝愿。

  May God bless you!

  He might be at home.

  注意: might 表示推测时,不表示时态。只是可能性比may 小。

  2) 成语: may/might as well,后面接不带to 的不定式,意为"不妨"。

  If that is the case, we may as well try.

  典型例题

  Peter ___come with us tonight, but he isn't very sure yet.

  A. must  B. may  C. can  D. will

  答案B. 表可能性只能用may. 此句意可从后半句推出。
