الفرق بين "could", "can", "might", و "may" يعود إلى درجة الاحتمالية أو الاحتمال الذي يعبر عنه كل منهم.
1. "Could" تعبر عن احتمالية مرتفعة نسبيًا. في الجملة المعطاة "It could be very serious"، يعني أن هناك احتمال كبير أن الوضع جدي.
2. "Can" تعبر عن إمكانية حدوث الشيء دون الضرورة أو الاحتمالية الكبيرة. لذلك، "It can be very serious" تعني أن الوضع يمكن أن يكون جديًا، ولكن ليس بالضرورة.
3. "Might" تعبر عن احتمالية منخفضة أو غير مؤكدة. "It might be serious" تعني أن هناك احتمال وجود جدية، ولكن ليس بشكل قاطع.
4. "May" تعبر عن احتمالية ممكنة أو معقولة. "It may be serious" تعني أن هناك احتمال وجود جدية، وهو أكثر تأكيدًا من "might" ولكن ليس بنسبة كبيرة كـ"could".
مثال:
- It could rain tomorrow. (قد تمطر غدًا) - احتمالية مرتفعة
- It can get crowded on weekends. (قد يزدحم في عطلة نهاية الأسبوع) - إمكانية
- It might snow next week. (ربما تثلج الأسبوع القادم) - احتمالية منخفضة
- It may be a good idea to call ahead. (قد تكون فكرة جيدة الاتصال مسبقًا) - احتمالية معقولة

can = it's able to be ❌ incorrect in this case
could / might / may = it's possibile to be
might often refers to a future possibility
may is very formal and rarely used
