1 Even when using MAY in the request

1. Even when using MAY in the request you should give CAN’T in the case of the negative answer, unless it’s very formal. MAY I have another cup of coffee? MAY I see you to your house? – You CAN’T, we are getting late already! - You CAN’T, since I am not interested. 2. May usually means the chance of something happening. Might means the chance of something not happening. I MAY go to the beach on Sunday. – I MIGHT not go to the beach on Sunday The same is true for the question: MAY I have another cup of coffee? (it’s right near you). MIGHT I have another cup of coffee (but I guess not)?
