Step 3 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。

情态动词无人称和数的变化，情态动词后面接的动词需要原形，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i*j,所以随身带把伞吧。

might与may没有太人的区别，形式上might是may的过去式，但在表示将来的可能情况吋，might表示的可能性比may表示的可能性还要小。

例如：
Take your swimwear 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 + 口等。

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.
晩上有可能会下雪.
It'll probably be cold and wet
天气很可能会乂湿乂冷。

probably表示“很可能”,所以表示的可能性要比possible大。
