May, might, can, could 表可能性
1)may/might 表示‘可能’,往往可以交替使用,并无时间上的差异,只是用might 在口气上比用may 更加不甚肯定,从而比较婉转。
may/might 既可表示现在的‘可能’:
. It may/might be true.
He may/might be still waiting at the door.
可能’ 
也可表将来的‘ 
. He may/might leave tomorrow.
He may/might not to leave next week.
,须用can 而不用may
可能’ 
在疑问句中表示‘ 
. Where can he be
He may be in the office.
2)用can /could 表示现在的‘可能’,在口气上could 比较婉转。
. That’s not mine. Who can it be
It could be John's. 用can ,表示‘可能’,较多的用于否定句中,而could 则不受此限。
. If you don’t have a guide, you could lo your way.

It can’t/couldn’t be true.
The moon cannot always be at the full.
can 与may 的区别
在否定句中,用can 表示‘可能’与用may 表示‘可能’往往产
生含义上的微妙差异:用can 表示‘可能’往往表示逻辑上的胡萝卜面
‘可能性’;而用may 表示‘可能’则指事实上的‘可能性。
. The road can be blocked.
(=It’s possible for the road to be blocked.)
The road may be blocked.
(=It’s possible that the road is blocked.)
Another example:
Mr. Reed is in poor health. He can be ill at any time.
Mr. Reed looks pale. He may be ill.
3)表示过去的‘可能’,可用‘may/might+ 不定式完成体或不定式完成进行体’ ,在这里用may/might ,也只有口气上婉转程度的差异,而没有时间上
的区别:
. He may/might have been hurt.
She may/might have misd the train.
也用‘can/could+ 不定式完成体’ 
表示过去的‘可能’

She can’t/couldn’t have misd the train.
用‘might/could+ 不定式完成体’ 
有时可以表示本来可能发生但没有发生的,或者本来可能完成却没有完成的动作。
. You might have killed yourlf. (你本来可能送命的。)
You might have finished the work last week. summary

一、表示对过去情况的推测或估计
may /might have done 肯定句可能/大概(已经)……否定句可能还没有……
can /could have done 否定句不可能(已经)……疑问句可能/也许(已经)……了吗
说明:1might /could有时并不是may /can的过去式,而是表示一种委婉的语气或更小的可能性。2might have done有时可用于疑问句中,此时might就相当于can /could。
比较may和might
1、表示允许或请求;表示没有把握的推测;may 放在句首,表示祝愿。
例如:
May God bless you!
愿上帝保佑你!
He might be at home.
他可能在家。
注意:might 表示推测时,不表示时态,只是可能性比may 小。
2、成语:may/might as well,后面接不带to 的不定式,意为"不妨"。

典型例题

A. must
B. may
C. can
D. will

Attention
推测的否定形式,疑问形式用can't, couldn't表示。
例如:
Mike can't have found his car, for he came to work by bus this morning.
迈克一定还没有找回他的车,因为早上他是坐公共汽车来上班的。
注意:could, might表示推测时不表示时态,其推测的程度不如can, may。
