'May' for permission is used to ask for per-

Mallesh: Then you might stay at our place for

two days. My brother might come in a

few days.

Jagan: It might be possible only after the

course. Our directors might ask us to

stay in the Training Center during the

course.

Mallesh: What will you do/ are you going to do

after classes every day?

Jagan: We shall know the exact programme

only after classes begin. I might then

be able to tell you clearly about it.

Mallesh: OK. Till then let's be in touch over

phone.

Jagan: When might your brother come?

Mallesh: I thought he might come yesterday

itself. But he called to say that he

might not come for another two days.

Jagan: I expected very much that I might

meet both of you.

b)

Namrata: I thought you might take me to the

movie yesterday.

Priya: I thought that you might not like the

movie. The hero and the heroine are

not your favourites.

Namrata: I was expecting your call though my

sister told me you might not call.

Priya: Don't worry. The movie wasn't good.

It bored even me.
