My dear and respected teacher,
1: “Hello, child…Where’s your dad?I have some work with him.Please tell him to come out.” correct?
2: “It may have rained”. incorrect?
3: “It might have rained.” correct?
4: “He may be sleeping.” AND “He might be sleeping.” What’s the difference please?
Hi,
‘May’ and ‘might’ suggest different types of possibility.
‘It may have rained’ indicates that there is a reasonable possibility that it rained.
‘It might have rained’ indicates that the possibility is not very strong.

Thanks! Alan
Can you please tell me difference between may be and might be :?: I’m not sure, when to use which of these two letters.
I have been instructed that may and might are both used to talk about possibilities where might is less certain than may. Is it true, my all respected teachers?
That is true, but the difference is marginal, and varies somewhat among speakers.
