I am confused about using "might" or "may". Can somebody tell me about it?

The usual confusion is between "Maybe or May Be?"\n\nMaybe, the compound word, is an adverb meaning "perhaps" or "possibly." \n\n\nMay be is a verb phrase meaning "might be" or "could be." \n\n\nExamples: Maybe I will go out tonight. \n\nI may be going out tonight.\n \nSo, i guess you could use might be and may be according to the sentence....if you could give the particular sentence that is confusing you, I would be glad to help.

Will and Would are use to express future events that may happen.\nWill is use if their is a certaintity that the thing you are refering to is realistic.Example: I will go to market tomorrow.\nWould is use if the thing you are referring to is less probable;\nExample: He would like to live in a bed of roses

The 2nd sentence is correct and very formal; there is something like an old subjunctive form hidden in it.\nThe 1st sentence is (informally) not incorrect and could be found in British English.

Right is a word that probably means slightly different things to different people.\n\nThe OED has 15 definitions for the word, for example. Generally in this context it is taken to mean, "A legal, equitable, or moral title or claim to the possession of property or authority".\n\nUsing this definition it ought to clear to anyone that might does not make right. Indeed most laws, both written and unwritten (like parents stopping an older child taking sweets from a younger) are there to prevent people from using might to get "possession of property".\n\nWhat is true is that all too often those who have no might also have no rights.

lol okay I'll try to explain first of all its [()] only when nessary which is rare.\nNow it gets kind a weird but () can be used both in the middle and at the end of a sentance (with the period like this). But only if its short. (I know its weird but if whats inside is a complete idea and not a momantary pause with short bit of info it can actually go like this.) Hope this helps.

The problem is not necessarily in the wording, but in the conjunctions you chose to use. For example, you said "man OR woman, black Or white, gay OR straight, AND young OR old..."\nAlso you used the word ALL, meaning everyone that you mentioned. The word all doesn't necessarily work when you use or. Or is used to present an option or choice with exclusion, whereas all and and are used inclusively. \nTry this:  "This would mean that man and woman, blacks and whites, homosexuals and heterosexuals, and the young and elderly would be treated the same, regardless." \n\nI sure hope this helps you out.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n.

It makes no sense; 'ille' is singular, and the verb 'cedunt' is plural. I'd check your source if I were you...

"Wanna" is more of a slang contraction for "want to" (example: You wanna go to the movies; translation: You want to go to the movies?)

In the kind of situations that you have highlighted, the sentence, which would sound much more appropriate than others, would be "Future Indefinite" as the time factor can't be determined definitely and the process is neither continuous nor perfect. According to the rules of the tense, the correct option in the given example would be "What time will your plane leave?".

1. I don't know!!!!\n2. Maybe or maybe not? We have free will.\n3. NO! How you think and what you say is not different and doesn't matter at all! It is just a waste of time.

[i]  = I\n[d]s = does (without the s it would be do)\n[t]  = to or the\n[o] = of\n\nAnyway I think all the [ ] are suppose to be abbreviations and these are the most likely.◘

When you speak to another about a current emotion, John IS upset. \n2)To BE somewhere is correct and after you left, you have BEEN there. \n3)Should is a desire unfulfilled and shall is an action about to be done. "I should do this" Means, the desire is there, not necessarily the actions behind it. "I shall do this" is speaking of an act about to tak place. 4)Must and Have to are used the same way, however, MUST is more proper. (Going and gonna mean the same but going is more proper)\n5) go to www.google.com there search for adjective listings, it will help to know them. \n6)the quote about the company picnic is corect, it is a formal way of saying "Aww, we are going to miss you, friend"\n7)Yes, that quote is granmmatically correct. \nThe English language is tough to learn, and it is full of double standards and screwy rules, but hang in there, it will be worth it.

"Be did?" This is interesting. Wish I could understand what it means.

Meanwhile is generally used alone.\nIf you need to put 'In the' in front of something, use 'meantime' - not meanwhile.\n\n"provided it doesn't eliminate itself meanwhile."\nor\n"provided it doesn't eliminate itself in the meantime."\nBoth would be logical.\n\n"provided it doesn't eliminate itself in the meanwhile."\ndoesn't make sense. You just muddled the two up, as you suggested! If you find it hard to remember, just think that if you reduce the words to 'while' and 'time' it's obvious. You can't say 'in the while', but you CAN say 'in the time'..!\n; )

No, it isn't correct.  Correct usage would be, "Has he got the money?" or "Did he receive the money?" or "Has he received the money?"

It is incorrect. It should read, "Should you have any questions or need further assistance, please contact Joe Blow or me."\n\nOne way to determine this is to remove one of the two persons you are referring to. In this instance you are referring to yourself and Joe Blow. Take out Joe blow and you get, "Should you have any questions or need further assistance, please contact myself."\n\nThat doesn't make any sense. Replace 'myself' with 'me' and you have a sentence that makes sense. Now put Joe in front of you and you have a complete, grammatically correct sentence.
