A few key writing tips can help explain the correct usage of may vs. might.1- “May” suggests a high degree of probability. If you say you may do something, you have implied it is quite likely to happen. - John may get a raise at work.2- “Might” suggests a lower probability. “Might” implies there is a decent chance an action will not take place. - We might have walked to the park, but it was raining.3- “Might” is appropriate for past tense.
