may / might
Similarly, we can use the modal auxiliaries may or might to say that there is a chance that something is true or may happen. May and might are used to talk about present or future events. They can normally be used interchangeably, although might may suggest a smaller chance of something happening. Compare the following:
I may go into town tomorrow for the Christmas sales. And James might come with me!
What are you doing over the New Year, Ann? ~ Oh, I may go to Scotland, but there again, I might stay at home.
If you go to bed early tonight, you may / might feel better tomorrow.
If you went to bed early tonight, you might feel better tomorrow.
One of my New Year resolutions is to go to the gym twice a week! ~ And pigs might fly!
Note that 'Pigs might fly' is a fixed expression and always uses might. It means that something will never happen.
In the first conditional example, will perhaps could be substituted.
If you go to bed early tonight, you may / might feel better tomorrow.
In the second conditional example, where might is an alternative for would perhaps, may cannot be substituted.
If you went to bed early tonight, you might feel better tomorrow.
