Usage of MAY BE in sentences

'May be' has its uses, but in these sentences, the word 'maybe' would be correct. Do not capitalize words just because they follow a comma.

Your sentences include the words 'could', 'might', and 'may not'. There is no need to use the word 'maybe' with them to indicate the uncertainty.

Hi roger, How about these sentences?

1. Maybe, it could rain tomorrow.

2. Maybe, he could have died more than thirty years ago.

3. Maybe, he might have done it.

4. Maybe, the person we are talking about may not be the person we wanted to see.

I would like to know if using the word MAYBE with 'could', 'might' and 'may not' are grammatically correct.

Get rid of the commas.

As to the 'maybe', it may be grammatical. It is not necessary.

1. It could rain tomorrow.

2. He could have died more than thirty years ago.

3. He might have done it.

4. The person we are talking about may not be the person we wanted to see.

Thanks a lot.

In your sentences, "Perhaps" is another word that could be used for "maybe."

hi PUNKEY, is it OK?

1. Perhaps it could rain tomorrow.

2. Perhaps he could have died more than thirty years ago.

3. Perhaps he might have done it.

4. Perhaps the person we are talking about may not be the person we wanted to see.

"Perhaps it could rain tomorrow." means exactly the same as "It could rain tomorrow." If you like it, go ahead.

"It could rain tomorrow" I understand what you say.
"Perhaps it could rain tomorrow." is it grammatically OK?

You would only say this if (a) you want it to rain tomorrow (b) you know someone who can make it rain tomorrow.

1. Maybe it could rain tomorrow. Maybe tomorrow it'll rain

2. Maybe he died more than thirty years ago.

3. Maybe he did it.

4. Maybe the person we are talking about isn't the one we wanted to see.
