Penggunaan “May” dan “Might”
6. To express wishes
May you both live a long and happy life together.
May the New Year bring you love and happiness.
May all your wishes come true.
May the odds be ever in your favor
May the Force be with you. :)
When do you use maybe and when do you use may be?
This is a common mistake for students learning English (and sometimes native
speakers too!).
The simplest explanation is:
Maybe = perhaps
May be = is possibly
Our boss was sick yesterday so he may be absent from work today. Maybe our
meeting will be postponed until he comes back.
He may be creative or maybe he is just crazy.
