Grammar: might/ may (review)

- We use might/ may to say that something is possible at present or in the future.

Ex: It might rain.

- Using "may" slightly increases the chance that something will happen.

Ex:

He may get high scores. (This is unlikely.)

He might get high scores. (I think this is very unlikely)

- "May" is something used in formal English, meaning to be allowed.

"Might" is not used in this case.

Ex: Lectures may use projectors if they wish.

Grammar: Reported speech:

We use the verb "ask" when reporting questions. In reported questions, we use the statement word order and the question mark is ommited.

* Wh-question: S + ask (ed) + someone + question word + clause.

Ex: What's your name? → She asked me what my name was.

* Yes/ No question: S + ask(ed) + someone + if/ whether + clause.

Ex: Are you a student? → He asked me if I was a student.

*NOTE:

Remember the change in pronouns, possesive adjectives, verb tenses and time expressions. (Unit 11)
