Do you understand the words may, might, possible, possibly & probably?

Might is the past tense of may, but there is no big difference when expressing possibility. It is just that when expressing general future possibilities, might is less likely than may. Because might and may are both modal verbs, they should be followed by the verb base form, that is:

S (subject) + might/may + do sth.

Common constructions of possible, possibly, probably:

It is possible that ....

It is possible to do sth.

S (subject) + will probably / possibly + do sth.

Probably means more likely than possibly.
