Hi there,

May, Might, and Could all suggest possibility. Any difference among them?

Might suggests that something is less likely than may, and there is a distinction between may have + past participle and might have + past participle, though this is not universal and seems to be on the decline:
He may have been injured = it is possible that he was injured but we don't know for sure
He might have been injured = there was a risk of injury but he wasn't hurt

Hi there,
How about 'could'?

I'd generally use may/could/might in order from a stronger to a weaker possibility.
