2. Modals of deduction
We use the modal verbsmight, may and could + an infinitive
form without to when we think it is
possible that something is true.
We use must when we are sure it is true
and can’t when we are sure it isn’t true.
3. 'intonation'
If you stress may, might or could itsounds less probable.
• It could be mango juice. (less likely)
• It could be mango juice. (more likely)

We also use may/might + be + -ing forsomething happening right now or a
possible future arrangement.
• That might be Mum phoning from Bali.
• She might be going to Australia.

If you are talking about possibility in thepast you need the modal + have + past
participle.

China.
