Verb in plain form (present or past tense) + かもしれません (kamoshiremasen) I-Adjective in plan form (present or past tense) + かもしれません (kamoshiremasen) Na-adjectives in plain form (without na) (present or past tense) + かもしれません (kamoshiremasen) Noun + かもしれません (kamoshiremasen) The level of certainty in that “might” is probably hovering around 50% (though no one’s keeping track).  This means that the probability of accuracy is a little less than a darou sentence and a lot less than a ni chigainai sentence. verbs { 食べる　/　食べた } 　かもしれません { taberu / tabeta } kamoshiremasen.
