🎲 Summit: Might, May, Could
A mystery user logs in to Priya’s study app at midnight every night, and the crew can only guess who it is. Students learn to express possibility with might, may and could be, say maybe-not with might not and may not, and place every deduction on the certainty ladder between can’t be and must be. They finish by writing a 50–80-word theory about the midnight student.

Key Vocabulary
Grammar Points
- Possibility with might / may / could + be: all three mean it is possible (around 50% sure)
- Negative possibility: might not be / may not be = possibly not true
- Couldn’t be and can’t be express impossibility — never use them for maybe-not
- The certainty ladder: can’t be (impossible) → might/may/could be (possible) → must be (almost certain)
