<!-- (Audio) Expert: Absolutely. My first suggestion is to not hit the snooze button multiple times. It may be tempting, but it disrupts your sleep cycle and you may feel groggy during the day. -->

--description--

There is a difference between may be and maybe. Let's take a closer look.

May be is the modal verb may followed by the verb be. It suggests a possibility. For example:

It may be raining outside. — Here, may be means it is possible that it is raining.

Maybe is an adverb. It means perhaps or possibly. For example:

Maybe I will go out later. — Here, maybe shows uncertainty about going out.

The main difference is that may be is a verb phrase, while maybe is an adverb.
