misleading language
3. Be aware of the notion register!
4. Ensure to not losing certainty of meaning in the source text
5. No free translation
6. Do not use everyday language
7. Do not look at the model answer unless you have completed each
task
8. Consult your dictionaries when you find problems

examination report. Additional workpapers, checklist, and/or

May and might (+ perhaps) are both ways of
expressing possibility.
may (present tense) when talking about a current situation
might (past tense) when talking about an event that happened in
the past.
I may go home early if Im tired. (present tense)
He might have visited Italy before settling in Nuremberg. (past tense)
In practice, this distinction is rarely made today and the
two words are generally interchangeable:

7
Language Point : May/Might
But there is a distinction between may have and might
have in certain contexts.
If the truth of a situation is still not known at the time of speaking
or writing, either of the two is acceptable:
By the time you read this, he may have made his decision.
If the event or situation referred to did not in fact occur, it's better
to use might have:
The draw against Italy might have been a turning point, but it didn't turn out
like that.

Language Point : May/Might
