Key Mistakes

1. Using 'might' when you are sure: For example, saying "She might win the race" when you know she will win is incorrect. Instead, use 'will'.

2. Confusing 'might' with 'may': Both express possibility, but 'might' suggests less certainty. For example, "I may go" is more certain than "I might go."

3. Forgetting to use 'might' in negative sentences: For example, saying "He might not like it" is correct, but saying "He might like it not" is incorrect. Always place 'not' after 'might'.
