情态助动词may表示可能性
may或might都表示“可能”、“也许”。通常既可以用may,也可以用might,不过might所表示的可能性要比may小,且当情况是虚拟的时只能用might而不能用may。
(1)may 表示现在或将来的可能性:may+动词原形:
The bread may be fresh.
面包可能是新鲜的。
He may be reading.
他可能正在看书。
I may go abroad.
我可能出国。
They may offer me a job.
他们也许会给我提供一份工作。
(2)may 也可表示过去的可能性,过去式为:may have(done):
He was late. He may have been busy.
他迟到了。他可能一直很忙。
I went out last night, and she may have been reading.
我昨天晚上出去了,她可能一直在看书。
It may have been right.
也可能是对的。
Thry may have been in the garden.
他们可能那时一直在花园里。
请比较:
He is working。

He may be working.
池可能在工作。(对现在可能发生的事情的猜测)
He must be working.
他肯定在工作。(对现在所发生事情有根据的推论)
