The difference between MAY n MIGHT?

May is the past tense form of might

We can use 'may' to ask for permission. However this is rather formal and not used very often in modern spoken English

May I borrow your pen?

May we think about it?

May I go now?

We use 'may' to suggest something is possible

It may rain later today.

I may not have time to do it today.

Pete may come with us

might

We use 'might' to suggest a small possibility of something. Often we read that 'might' suggests a smaller possibility that 'may', there is in fact little difference and 'might is more usual than 'may' in spoken English.

She might be at home by now but it's not sure at all.

It might rain this afternoon.

I might not have time to go to the shops for you.

I might not go.

Both "may" and "might" express possibility: It might rain tomorrow. It may rain tomorrow. They may/might have called yesterday; I'm not sure.

Only "may" is used to ask permission, but never with "you." You can say, "May I sit here?" To give permission, you can say, "You may sit here if you want to."

We do not ask, "May you help me?" Polite requests with "you": Could you help me? Would you help me? Can you help me? Will you help me? The "could" and "would" ones are slightly more polite than the "can" and "will" requests, but all of them are acceptable.

May= Present Tense= May I come in ?/ May you live long.

Might= (!). Past tense of May= He might have gone there.

(2) Strength= Don't show your might to enter my room./ He is a mighty man.

'May' gives you permission......"might' suggests that it could be possible for you to do it.
