22、y I come tomorrow?Might I have a cup of coffee?I asked her if I might call and see her.You may leave at any time.You may use the room if you keep it clean.二、表示推测may 和 might 都可以用来表示推测，意为“也许；可能”。它们的否定形式分别是 may not 和 might not。如：I think David may be at school.That woman may not be Marks mother.How long

46、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。情态动词无人称和数的变化，情态动词后面接的动词需要原形，否定式是在情态动词后面加 not,当我们想表达可能发生某事以及可能做某事时，可以用 may / might 表示。例如：Its cloudy too, so it might snow.也是阴天，所以有可能会下雪。Bring a map because you may want to travel around.带张地图，因为你可能想四处走走。There may be a few showers
47、, so bring an umbrella with you.可能会有阵雨，所以随身带把伞吧。might 与 may 没有太大的区别，形式上 might 是 may 的过去式，但在表示将来的可能情况时，might 表示的可能性比 may 表示的可能性还要小。例如：Take your swimwear because you might want to go swimming in the sea.带上游泳衣吧，说不定你想要到海里游泳呢。英语中表示可能的方式有许多，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
