Have you come across difficult words in English literature?

Were you hoping that someone could give you a bit of help so that you could find an accurate understanding of the meaning?

That's exactly what we are going to do with Claire's question. First we will explain the formal meaning of the word might in her example. Then we'll also take a look at some common usages of might as it is used in everyday English.

Look at these examples:

I thought I might find you in the canteen.

England might win the World Cup if it adopts the right strategy.

Might I have a word with you for a few minutes, please.

I might have become a millionaire if I'd gone into banking.

It's arguable whether China has the same military might as the United States.
