Read through the example sentences in the box with the whole class.It might snow.Its probably sunny and hot there.Bring a map because you may want to travel around.2.

45、词义, 但不能单独作谓语, 需要和其他动词（原形）一起构成谓语, 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。may/might可以用来表示推测，意为“可能”。它们的否定形式分别是may not和might not。e.g. I think Mary may be in the library. That man may not be Jacks uncle. How long might the travel take? Betty might not go to work next week.

46、注: may和might在表示将来的可能情况时, might比may表示的可能性要小一些。 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/ probably v.等 e.g. It is possible that itll be snowy in the night. 晚上有可能会下雪。 Itll probably be cold and wet. 天气很可能会又湿又冷。注:
