    The document provides examples of sentences using the words "may" and "might" to express different meanings: possibility in the present (e.g. "my cellphone may be broken"), possibility in the past (e.g. "the game might have started"), permission (e.g. "you may make a call"), and lack of permission (e.g. "boys and girls may not wear jewelry"). It then has students match the example sentences to the different meanings and fill in blanks with the correct forms of "may" or "might" to test their understanding.
