The idea, simply
Use might, may, or could + the base verb for something possible that you are not sure about: She might be at home. It may rain later. The negative is might not or may not: I might not come tomorrow. Do not add to or s after them: say He might know, not He might to know or He might knows.
Examples
She might be at home right now.
Take an umbrella. It may rain later.
I might not come to the party.
