Sentences using may, might, and must express various degrees of possibility and necessity. For instance, a parent may be working late, alternate plans might be made if weather prohibits a mountain trip, a relaxed weekend might be spent without special plans, and a special meal must be made for visiting friends.

Creating sentences with may, might, and must based on given situations requires understanding the modal verbs that express possibility, probability, and necessity. Here are examples for each situation:

a. It's Monday and my father isn't at home. He may be working late at the office.
  • b. If it rains next Sunday and I can't go to the mountains, I might stay at home and read a good book instead.
  • c. I don't have any special plans for the coming weekend; I might just relax or may catch up on some personal projects.
