Grammar review
Use may or might with the plain verb when you aren't sure: Our parcel might arrive today. For something perhaps happening right now, add be and -ing: Ella might be painting. Maybe is one word and usually starts the sentence; may be is two words after a subject. To give or refuse permission, use may, not might.
