First, I thought might is the past tense of may. But looking at it, these is a little difference between them. Pls prove me wrong if I am. I think 'might' is a probability of an occurrence, while 'may' is certainty. |

"May" is the present form of "might" which signifys probability. While "will" is the present form of "would" which invariably means certainty/capapility of the speaker. |
