Difference between Could - Might
Hello

I was reading a english grammar book about the difference between COULD and MIGHT..

If i write this phrase or with could or with might, they mean the same thing.

1)i might go out this night;
2)i could go out this night;

Answer

1. I might go out tonight, it means you have possibility to go out tonight. Might is past form of "may". Or it usually used to express politeness.
2. I could go out tonight, it means you have ability to go out tonight, Could is past form of "can". It's also used to express politeness.
