Might or May?
What’s the difference between these two sentences?
– I may go out tonight
– I might go out tonight
As far as I’m concerned, they are the same, both of them mean that there is a possibility that I will go out tonight.
According to some, ‘might’ is slightly less possible that ‘may’, but I have no reason to believe that native speakers conscienciously make this distinction. Maybe I use ‘might’ more that ‘may’ in conversation, but that’s no reason why you should.

I’m from the United States. “Might,” and “may” are the same, but “may” is more formal, and is used less often.
