Grammar
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。
情态动词没有人称和数的变化，情态动词后面接的动词需用原形，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：
It’s 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, 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 swimming clothes 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 possible to do sth. ..., It is possible that …, 主语 + will probably / possibly + v.等。例如：
Is it possible to visit Alaska in December 十二月去阿拉斯加游览有可能吗？
It is possible that it’ll be snowy in the night.
晚上有可能会下雪。
It will probably be cold and wet.
天气很可能会又湿又冷。
probably 表示“很可能”，所以表示的可能性要比 possible 大。
