Here in this video you give more importance to May and Might. But back in India our English teachers advise us to use could instead of May and Might that they say the usage of could will definitely increase our English standard. But when I saw this video I understand that what Indian teachers said was wrong. As said in this video some times the usage of could create confusion. Really I felt it before seeing this video. For example see the sentence You could convince him. Here it is difficult for us to understand whether it is in present tense or past tense. But we can understand it by context, yet sometimes creates confusion. Thanks for this video

So migjt, may, and could can be used interchangeably with a slight difference with ' could'.
But we can use 'might and could' when we talk about the past can't we? For example
If oil hadn't been discovered, people might have depended on developing electricity power from the beginning. This is a possibility in the past.

Hello BBC from Kurdistan.
I have a question ...
3:49 here the first part of the sentence is present simple not past, then how come could it be mistaken with second conditional?

I've seen phrases like: May you be happy, may their dreams come true I thought may was used to express a wish and might to express possibilities but seems that I was wrong.
