Might
Grammar

Might is an auxiliary verb that expresses possibility.

To change it to the negative form, we add the word not.

 

 

Exercise - Might

Change the sentences with will and won't to sentences with might or might not to indicate uncertainty. Make sure you use the correct capitalization and include a period at the end.

examples
They will go to the party.

We change the word "will," which we use for something certain in the future, to the word "might," which is for possibilities.

It won't hail tonight.

1. She'll study tomorrow morning.
   
   

2. It will snow this weekend.
   
   

3. The house won't flood.
