Bring a map because you may want to travel around. 带张地图吧，因为你可能想要四处走走。 may, might后接动词原形 adv.修饰形容词或动词 情态动词本身有一定的词义，为谓语动词增添情态色彩，表示说话人对有关行为或事物的态度和看法，认为其可能、应该或必要等。 我们学习过的can和 may都属于这类词。情态动词一般无人称和数的变化，后面接的动词需用原形，否定式是在情态动词后面加not。 情态动词 may和might都可以用来表示推测：也许；可能。否定形式分别是may not和might not。 情态动词may和might表推测 may和might没有太大区别，形式上might是may的过去式，但在表示将来的推测时，might表示的可能性比might还要小 e.g. I think David may be at school. That woman may not be Mark’s mother. How long might the travel take Susan might not return tomorrow. 表示可能的方式有很多，除使用情态动词may/might以外，还可以通过will以及表示“可能”的形容词和副词表达，常用的有：It is possible to do sth., It is possible that…, 主语+will probably / possibly +v. 等。 e.g. Is it possible to visit Alaska in December It is possible that it will snow in the night. It will probably be cold and wet. probably表示“很可能”，所表示的可能性比possibly要大。 To talk about your weekend plan with your partner. -- What are you going to do this weekend -- I’m not sure, I may…, but I’ll probably…because… Name Weekend plan Reason 2) —Sandy, is Mr Li in the teachers’ office now —I am not sure.
