may
We can use 'may' to ask for permission. However this is rather formal and not used very often in modern spoken English.
نستخدمها لطلب الاستئذان وهي رسمية لا تستخدم كثيرا في التحدث الانجليزي الحديث يعني
تسمعها في الكلية والاماكن الرسمية مو في الشارع
May I leave now?
May I borrow your dictionary?
May we think about it until tomorrow?
We use 'may' to suggest something is possible.
نستخدمها لاقتراح شيء ممكن
Philip may come to stay with us
I may not have time to do it straightaway.
It may snow later today.
might
We use 'might' to suggest a small possibility of something. Often we read that 'might' suggests a smaller possibility that 'may', there is in fact little difference and 'might is more usual than 'may' in spoken English.
might نستخدمها لاقتراح اقل امكانا من may و might اكثر اعتيادا في الاستخدام في التحدث
يعني الفرق بسيط بينهم
It might rain this afternoon.
She might be at home by now but it's not sure at all.

I might have left it in the taxi.
