MAY, MIGHT and MUST are all modal verbs that express how certain you are of something.

may/might/must都是用来表示你对某事的确定性程度的情态动词;
To express a degree of certainty in the present, use MAY, MIGHT or MUST.
如要表示当前某个事物的确定性程度时,使用may/might/must;
It's easy to understand how to use them in the right context.
在适当的语境中,这些词的用法都很容易理解。
If you are only half certain about something, use MAY or MIGHT.
如果你对某事的确定性程度只有50%,使用may/might,例如:
I may go to the concert.
我可能回去演奏会。
She said she might go to the concert.
她说她可能回去演奏会。
MUST expresses a strong degree of certainty, when you are almost 100 percent sure about something. Like,
must表示的确定性程度很强,是指你对某事的确定性程度接近100%,例如:
My phone is ringing. It must be my mom. You know, she calls me every day at this time.
我手机响了,肯定是我妈妈打来的。你知道的,她每天这个时候都会打给我。
He sent her flowers. It must be love.
他给她送花了,这肯定就是爱了。
And what do we say if we're completely sure of something?
那么,如果我们完全确定某事的时候,怎么说?
Easy! Use "it" or "will." Those words mean you are 100 percent sure of something.
简单!用it或will,这两个词指的就是你对某事100%确定。
Is it just me, or is your phone ringing again?
是我的手机响了,还是你的手机又响了?
It must be my mom. It is!
肯定是我妈妈打来的。确实是的!
