Maybe and perhaps mean the same thing. We use them when we think something is possible, but we are not certain. We use maybe mostly in the front of a sentence or at the end position whereas perhaps is used in front, mid and end positions. "Perhaps" is slightly more formal than maybe. Maybe is more common. ex: Maybe you left your glasses at home. ex: Do you think these curtains are hung too high? They are perhaps.

They are the same but in written English, people often prefer to use perhaps, because it is slightly more formal than maybe . Besides , In everyday English, people usually use may or might rather than use perhaps it/she/they etc will: • It might snow tomorrow.
