Might and could
Might 和 could 是 may 和 can 的过去式,但通常没有过去时态的意义。
它们都属于弱助动词,许多情形下意思接近。Could 比 might 常用。
弱助动词的“可能性程度”是,有可能但可能性不大--possible, but unlikely.
即,一种不过半的可能性。
比如:"They might offer you the job."
"Yes, but, they might not!"
One day I could/might become a billionaire, but the chances are very small.
