but which we are not sure about.

We use “will” when something is more certain to happen or
when something is definite or sure to happen.
Will
Utilizamos “will” cuando algo es mas seguro que suceda o cuando algo esdefinitivo o seguro que ocurra.

“may” y “might” tienen casi el mismosignificado,pero might es un poco menos
formal que may y también más común quemay.
