Such uses are rather literary, however, and an infinitive is usually preferred :
He is going to university to become an engineer.
4. to express a wish:
May you both be very happy.
Long may she reign.
5. in questions, to emphasise the uncertainty:
Who may he be?
Might is also found colloquially in the present tense to suggest action:
On your way home, you might call at the post-office
or to complain of neglect of duty:
You might help with the washing-up.
It similarly softens the tone:
Might I say something?
