Apa perbedaan 'may' dengan 'might' dan bagaimana contoh kalimatnya?
Saya akan memberikan gambaran perbedaan 'may' dengan 'might' dan contoh penggunaannya dalam kalimat.
MAY
Penggunaan:
- Possibility (menyatakan kemungkinan besar yang dapat terjadi). Contoh:
- It may rain tonight.
- You may have a little difficulty driving at night.
- We may go to London for vacation, if we can still afford it.
- Permission (permisi/ijin). Contoh:
- May I borrow your pencil?
- May I help you with that?
- Expressing a wish or hope. Contoh:
- May you both be very happy.
- May God bless you!
MIGHT
Penggunaan:
- Possibility (menyatakan kemungkinan yang dapat terjadi, atau dapat juga tidak terjadi). Dalam hal ini derajat kemungkinannya lebih rendah dari may. Contoh:
- They might come tonight.
- The homework might have been too difficult for them.
- I might have gone to school there, but because I didn’t have enough money, I started working instead.
- If you go to bed earlier, you might feel better tomorrow.
- Permission (permisi/ijin). Might lebih formal daripada may. Contoh:
- Might I go now?
- Might I borrow your pen?
