تفاوت maybe و may be

Hey… Where’s Ella?

She may be at home!

Do you think she will come over here?

maybe!

Hey friends…

Have you ever thought about the difference between

maybe and may be?

well

May be is a modal verb

which is used to express possibility…

actually not a strong one!

And since it’s a modal verb,

it’s always followed by the base from

of the main verb.

The base form of be is be!

For example:

Don’t ask her to help you.

she may be tired.

Now, maybe is just one word

and it’s an adverb!

It means perhaps or possibly!

For example:

Don’t ask her to help you.

Maybe she’s tired.

If you put maybe in front of an amount,

it means approximately or around.

For example:

I taught English for maybe 6 years!

Now it’s your turn to fill in the blanks

using maybe or may be.
