| He may have died in the accident. - Means status is unknown . Let me try to make it a little more simple. Kid : " Dad can i have a dollar coin ?" Dad : "I may be able to give you a dollar coin .Let me check my wallet" . *checks* Dad : " Aww sorry son , im out of coins " This shows one is not 100% certain about the situation . If you wanted the sentence to show that the driver survived , the better word to replace " may " with is could . |

| may is the same as might but 'might' has less possibility it might rain. it may rain. If might has 50% possiblility, may has 60% or more It depends on the situation |

| Example: Why wasn't Mary in class? a)100% She was sick (The speaker is sure) b) 95% She must have been sick (The speaker is making a logical conclusion,''I saw Mary yesterday found out that she was sick.I assume that is the reason why she was absent.I can't think of any other good reason'') c)Less than 50% (The speaker is mentioning one possibility.) c1)She may have been sick c2)She might have been sick c3)She could have been sick |

| @Tdol, as I can't seem to PM you on this board, I'll just leave this here ;) I am fairly sure that using a backslash instead of a slash to mean "or" is an error, but of course I'm not 100% sure. See 1. Backslash, forward slash…what’s the difference? Calmer Than You Are And 2. Slash (punctuation) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (note that there is no such entry on the page for backslash.) |
