‘may’ is a word you use to express your wishes or hope for the future. It’s like a prayer for a blessing. It’s a wish that something will happen, and a positive anticipation of what might happen in the future. You say it when you want something and mean it when you don’t.
I was recently told that if a person uses the word “may” in a sentence, they should look at the context. For instance, the word “may” could be used to describe a wish or a hope, or it could describe something that is impossible to have, such as a wish for a child.
It’s not a prayer, it’s a reality show. A real truth show.
When it comes to the wishes of others, may is a common word that’s used in the French language, with the form may. The word is used to convey the idea that something good or something that happens is likely soon, and a person who uses the word may is making a commitment to do something in the future.
So when a person uses may to communicate that something is likely to happen, they are making a wish about something, which is pretty much impossible to have. The word may is used as a verb, and could also mean a form of may be. This is because the form may can be used with both verbs and adjectives.
The only time I would do it is if I wanted to, but I don’t see how I could do it without having to try.
May is also used as a noun, which indicates something that is likely to happen, likely to happen in the future.
May is a verb, so its usage as a noun is pretty much guaranteed to be incorrect.
May is actually a rather common French word, which means “to be ready for” (which is similar to the English “to be willing” but with slightly different semantics). So it would be grammatically correct to say: “I hope you are ready for this evening.
I’m probably not going to be able to do this without trying, but I think this is something that I would want to try and do in the future. The other day in class we were talking about how to use phrases like “I hope you’re ready for this evening” to make it less obvious that you are really talking about something that is likely going to happen in the future.
