--video-solution--

2

--explanation--

Might is used to talk about possibility — something that could happen but is not certain. For example:

  • It might rain tomorrow. - There is a chance, but it's not guaranteed.

  • We might need more time to finish the project. - There is a possibility, but it's not confirmed.
