How to Use 'MIGHT' in Simple Present and Present Continuous Tenses?
may and might In the recent post we came through the forms of
might.
In this
post we will discuss about “might” in more.
Remember the following points:
1. The short form of might not
is might n’t but we do not use the short form.
2. We should not frame negative
or positive question. Negative general questions with an appropriate
interrogative will be possible.
Structure of a sentence - To reveal
dissatisfaction:
Using ‘might’ in simple present tense with present
form of verb.
1. You might come to the meeting on
time.
(Here a
nice way of conveying your displeasure when a staff comes late habitually is
happening).
2.
You might convey your wishes here and now.
(Here a simple present tense is used in the above
sentence).
3.
You might not spend your free time in your friend’s house every week
end.
(Here also
the same simple present tense is used).
Structure of a sentence - For a future distant
possibility:
We
use ‘might’ along with a present form verb for a future possibility. This
sentence structure must denote the timing of the action in a coming time. Then
this will be a ‘future tense’ sentence.
We denote the possibility in at present time and
also in which case either it s a simple present or present continuous tense with
‘might’ and a present form of a verb.
Some of the examples are:
1. This exams might helps you
in the future.
2. You might not consider this
argument.
3. I
might attend your music class tomorrow.
4. The bus might arrive by evening.
In all the above sentences
future tense has been used.
This present tense can also be expressed in the
possible forms as below.
1. My father might be wondering about my
safety.
2. My
brother might not be expecting me in the railway station this
morning.
In all
the above sentences present continuous has been used.
3. He might not believe in his
professional abilities.
In the above sentence simple present tense is
used.
We came to the conclusion that we use might in
future and present tenses.
