How may and might show possibility

Practicing with a grammar quiz on may and might for possibility helps you hear the difference between a real chance and a remote one. Both words express that something could happen, but they are not always interchangeable in careful writing.

Use might for a more remote or tentative possibility, as in 'It might rain, but I doubt it.'
Use may for a possibility you consider real, as in 'The results may arrive today.'
Follow may and might with the base verb: 'might go', not 'might to go'.
For past possibility, use may have or might have with the past participle: 'She might have left.'

Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer for your practice round.

Check the explanations

Review each answer to see why may or might fits, then generate another set for more practice.

Might usually signals a more tentative or remote chance, while may is common for possibilities a speaker considers realistic. Both are modal verbs, so they are followed by the base form of the main verb, and a past possibility takes may have or might have plus a past participle.

Questions that mix these forms are a good test of whether a learner can see the grammar pattern and the meaning behind it, which is why explanations matter as much as the correct letter.
