 Hi, 'May' can be used to seek permission.
E.g. May I have your pen for a minute? It can also be used to express possibility. E.g. I may go to the museum tomorrow. 'Might' is the past form of 'May'.

Both "may" and "might" are used to express possibility or permission, but "may" is more formal and "might" is more tentative. "May" is used when there is a higher degree of certainty, while "might" is used when there is a lower degree of certainty or when the possibility is more hypothetical. For example, "I may go to the party tonight" implies that there is a good chance that I will go, while "I might go to the party tonight" implies that there is a possibility that I will go, but it's not certain.
