hi, thanks for the explanation. I have some questions:

- when writing essays/reports, do I use may or might? (since there isn't much diff btwn them)
- if I choose to use "may," do I use it throughout the essay for consistency, or I can use "might" at the same time (use "may" or "might" depending on the likelihood?)

Is this sentence correct?
He may take the medicine because he might fall asleep. (does the use of may and might here refers to the difference in likelihood?)

thank you!
