Use of might

Step 1: Introduce "Might" with Simple Examples

• Explain: “Might” is used to show possibility or uncertainty.

• Give examples:

  • It might rain tomorrow. (Possibility)
  • She might be at home now. (Uncertainty)

• Ask students simple yes/no questions:

  • Will it rain tomorrow? (Students say Yes/No)
  • Are you 100% sure? (Students say No!)
  • So, what will you say? → It might rain tomorrow!

Step 2: Use Interactive Situations

Activity: “Guess the Possibility”

   • It might rain. (Cloudy sky)
   • She might have lost her phone. (Lost phone)
   • He might be studying. (Open book)

Pair Work: "What Might Happen?"
