Using may for possibility
使用may表示可能性

情态动词may 表示可能性,
后加动词原形

may主要用法归纳:
1. 表示“可能性”,常用于肯定句或否定句中。
他可能自己动手做,而不是花钱请别人做。
He may do a DIY job, instead of paying someone else to do it.
Daniel可能不会独自装饰房间。
Daniel may not decorate the room by himself.
注意:当表示“可能性”时,may通常不用于一般疑问句中。
那会是真的吗?
May that be true × Can that be true √
注意:在否定句中常用can’t表示“不可能”
他现在不可能在家,因为他房间里的灯是关着的。
He can’t be at home now, because the light is off in his room.
注意区分:
他可能不知道真相。
He may not know the truth.
他不可能知道真相。
He can’t know the truth.
2. 表示“许可或请求许可”,这种情况下,与can同义,可以互换使用。
你可以休假两天。
You may/can have two days off.
我可以使用这把剪刀吗?
May/Can I use this pair of scissors
肯定回答可以用Yes, you may. 但语气比较生硬,所以常用Yes, please./Certainly./Of course.
否定回答可以用No, you mustn’t./No, you can’t./Sorry, you can’t./No, please don’t.
