![]() 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.
