Language in use
The weatherLanguage practice It might snow.
It’s probably sunny and hot there.
Bring a map because you may want to travel around. 情态动词本身有一定的含义，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。我们学过的 can 和 may 都属于这类词。情态动词无人称和数的变化，后面接的动词需用原形，否定式是在情态动词后面加 not。情态动词?may/might?表示“可能” 当我们想表达可能发生某事以及某人可能做某事时，可以用 may/might 表示。例如：
Bring a map because you may want to travel around.?
带张地图，因为你可能想四处转转。
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，说不定你想到海里游泳呢。 英语中表示可能的方式有很多，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??
12?月份去阿拉斯加旅游有可能吗？
It is possible that it will snow in the night.?
夜里有可能会下雪。
It will probably be cold and wet.?
天气很可能会又冷又湿。
probably 表示“很可能”，所表示的可能性比 possibly?要大。1.－I hear you’ve got a set of valuable Australian
coins.___ I have a look?

so bring a sweater.

It’s good to hear that you may visit China. I think
the best time to come is in autumn. Most of the places in China are neither too hot nor too cold in this season. It’s the most comfortable time to travel. If you’re going to visit South China, you should probably bring an umbrella because there may be some rain.
You might like to stay in a hotel. You won’t have to
Pay much for it because hotels are not very expensive here. But I also invite you to stay in my home. I’m happy to be your guide during the holiday.
Looking forward to hearing all about your travel plans.
Best wishes,
DamingDo you understand the words may, might, possible, possibly & probably? might 是 may 的过去式，但表示可能性时没有很大区别，只是表示一般将来的可能性时，might 比 may 的可能性要小。因为 might 和 may 都是情态动词，所以，他们后面应加动词原形，即：
S (主语) + might/may + do sth.possible, possibly, probably 的常用结构：
It is possible that ....
It is possible to do sth.
S (主语) + will probably / possibly +
do sth.
probably表示的可能性比possibly要大。1. In competition, as in life, you ______ not always win. (2012湖南常德)
