Lets start with the modal verbs may and might.

The modal verb may indicates possibility.


For example,
I may have pizza for dinner tonight.
Es posible que cene pizza esta noche.
It may rain this weekend.
Puede que llueva este fin de semana.
Here you can use the modal verb might instead of may and say:
I might have pizza for dinner tonight.
It might rain this weekend.
Here may is slightly more formal than might.
En estas frases, may es un poco ms formal que might.
We sometimes use the adverbs maybe and perhaps to express possibility. Perhaps is
more formal than maybe.
When referring to possible future events like the ones in the examples above, we use these
adverbs followed by the future with will.
Cuando hablamos de posibles eventos futuros como los de los ejemplos de arriba, estos
adverbios van seguidos del futuro con will.
