May or Might instead of Will in First Conditional

May or might can also be used to substitute Will in First conditional sentences

Compare will and may/might:

If it’s sunny, I will go to the beach tomorrow. (I want to go to the beach tomorrow, so if the weather is good I’m certain that I will go)

or

If it’s sunny, I might go to the beach tomorrow. (I’m thinking of going to the beach tomorrow, if the weather is good it’s possible that I will go)

More examples:

• If Mike doesn’t have a lot of work, he may/might go to rugby training.  (it’s possible that Mike will go to training, but not if he has a lot of work)
