Do 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。
