Lesson 23--Maybe versus May be



Maybe             adverb, often used at the beginning of a sentence or end, to indicate                                               how likely and possible it is.

 
e.g.                  Maybe, he is at home.
                        I will talk to her later, maybe.
                        Maybe, the weather will be bad tomorrow.
                        Maybe he took the bus home.

 
May be            modal verb, often used after the subject of a sentence, to indicate how                 
                        likely and possible it is.

e.g.                  I may be late for work tomorrow.
                        I may be too tired to do my homework.
                        She may be spending time with her friends.
