May and might

 "Might" is another modal auxiliary verb that is used to suggest that something is possible, but with a greater degree of uncertainty than "may." It can also be used to make suggestions or give permission in a more tentative way. Here are some examples:

• I might go to the party tonight. (suggests that it is possible, but not definite)
• You might want to bring an umbrella, just in case it rains. (suggests a recommendation)
• Can I borrow your book? - Yes, you might borrow it. (gives permission in a more tentative way)
