Meet the weather supercomputer. Scientists hope it will make future weather predictions more accurate - but we will still need the words may, might and could. In this Session we'll show you how to use them.
Predicting the weather
Now you have a better understanding of weather vocabulary, it's your turn to have a go at predicting the weather and deciding what will and what might happen later.

How are you getting on? The words may, might and could aren't just used to talk about the weather - you can use them in lots of other situations too, as Neil and Sophie find out in 6 Minute Grammar - which is on the next page.
本课语法
We use might / may / could + verb: for present & future possiblitites; for guesses about the present; when we aren’t sure if something will happen in the future.
- I might go to the exhibition this afternoon. (future)
- He’s Eastern Europe. He may be in Ukraine. (present)
- We could have some problems next year. (future)
We use might not / mightn’t and may not to talk about negative possibility. We cannot use could not / couldn’t for possibility in the same way as might not and may not.
- We might not move into the new offices next year.
- Our client may not agree with us.
