It is mostly used in indirect questions.-- I wonder if I might work on your computer.-- But it is used in the same way as 'may' to talk about the present or future. 'Might' is used as less positive version of 'May'. 'May' denotes more possibility/probability. 'Might' denotes less possibility/probability. May I use your mobile phone? Might I use your mobile phone? (= A diffident way of saying 'May I use your mobile phone?') 'Might' is also used to express a degree of dissatisfaction or reproach; as, You might pick up an argument with him! You might have picked up an argument with him! 'Might' has limitation while 'asking permission'-- Note: Avoid using 'might' to seek or give permission. [Prefer to use 'may'] Avoid using 'might not' to refuse permission. [Prefer to use 'may not']. Using 'might' to seek or give permission is very formal and is not used very often.-- Might I ask your address? Might I offer you something to eat? [Exception: You can use 'might' to give permission or 'might not' to refuse permission in "indirect speech"] He asked me whether he might stay in my house. Note: 'Maybe' is an adverb. ['Maybe' means 'perhaps'] -- Maybe he came to know something secret and was removed from the post.
