Navigating Uncertainty

Worksheet Description

This worksheet begins with a comprehensive explanation of modal auxiliaries, emphasizing the meanings and functions of “may” and “might.” Students will learn that both modal auxiliaries express possibility or permission, but “may” suggests a higher degree of likelihood, while “might” indicates a lower degree of likelihood or a more tentative possibility. Clear examples will be provided to illustrate the distinctions between the two.

In the main section of the worksheet, students will encounter a series of sentences with a blank space. Their task is to complete each sentence by selecting the appropriate modal auxiliary, either “may” or “might.” This exercise challenges students to consider the context and intended meaning to determine the most suitable option. This serves as a helpful modal auxiliary activity for kids.
