Case 1 

 

The use of may when chances of something happening are higher. Jab kisi cheez ke hone ka scope zyada ho, tab may word use hoga in an English sentence. “I may start a business soon” iska matlab hai ho sakta ki jaldi hi mein ek business start karu. The use of might when probability of something happening is less. If you feel that you are going to say a sentence that a low or far-off possibility, only then might is recommended. For instance, “I might go and settle in Canada someday”. Iska matlab ki shayad mein kabhi Canada mein jaake settle ho jaunga. The reason behind using might here is that the reality of something happening in the future is vague.

 

Case 2
