Grammar
may / might和probably
1. may表示“可能”, 与probably同义, 但是用法有差别，may是情态动词，后跟动词原形，它表示一种推测，是根据某一种情况而进行的判断。may和might 表示推测时，只能用于陈述句中，might暗示可能性更小。如：
She may not be working now. 现在可能她没有在工作。John might be at home now. 约翰现在可能在家。
2. may和might 用于一般疑问句中，表示委婉的请求；肯定回答用may；否定回答用might。如：
—May I use your pencil 可以用你的铅笔吗？
—Yes, you may. 是的，可以。
—No, you mustn’t. 不，不行。
3. probably是副词，意为“或许，大概，很可能”，指某事的发生很有可能或十有八九，其语意较强，侧重有根据、合情合理的推测，表示的可能性很大。修饰形容词、副词和动词，在句子中作状语，放在实义动词之前，助动词、情态动词、be动词之后，还可放在句首。常用句型：主语+will probably/possibly+v.。
