Ciao! ¡Hola! Hello! Io sono Kavya. Ho ventuno anni e sono una studentessa degli stati uniti. Mi piacciono imparare e studiare le lingue. Soy Kavya, y tengo veinteuno años. Soy estadounidense. He vivido en muchos estados... ¡nos mudabamos mucho! Durante mi ninez, estudiaba en una escuelita bilingüe y por eso, me siento cómoda en español. Ahora estoy intentando de refinar mi español - estoy mirando las noticias, las telenovelas, escuchando música, etc para diversificar mi vocabulario. Quiero aumentar mi nivel y fluidez a casi nativa, como era cuando era una niña, pero con el conocimiento (y el vocabulario) de un adolescente. Me doy cuenta de que este es una meta giganteeee... pero con tiempo, ayuda, y un montón de esfuerzo, ojalá que sea posible!

    Bom Dia! I) On spite - this means solely out of anger, with passion, and a strong desire for revenge! More frequently, you will see it said "out of spite" such as, "He ate his sister's whole birthday cake out of spite". This means I at her cake in anger and revenge. The reason why (what she did to upset him) would be mentioned previously. II) This means "easy profit" as well as "take advantage". It has a negative connotation "I'm tired of seeing facebook advertisements of companies selling coronavirus cures, trying to make a quick buck off of the panic and lack of education around the virus!" III) The original sentence you wrote is correct!! You would use might or may if you were in a formal situation, and asking permission. In this situation, you are not asking permission, and are asking a question in an informal manner. The difference between might and may is that "might I" is British 90% of the time, and "may I" is American 90% of the time. When Americans use the word "might", they use it in a very different context, where it means "perhaps" as in "I might go to the market tomorrow" - there is a chance I will go to the market tomorrow. Here is how you would use "might I "/ "may I" in a sentence. Again, note that in this case they are interchangable. "May I go to the bathroom?" / "Might I get a drink of water?" Essentially, "might I/may I" is a more sophisticated and fancy way of saying "Can I please....?". Hopefully you found this helpful - these are very advanced questions.

    Synonyms that could be used are "to account for", "to accomodate for", "considering" , "to prepare for the fact", "because there are many variables", and "in order to include". (Hopefully one of these made sense!!) It is used when one is doing a calculation, and explaining how it came to be. Here are some other example sentences that are easier to explain. "A decreased demand in gas (oil/petrol) was factored into the low price." This sentence means essentially that the lower demand of gas affected the price that it was selling for, decreasing it. "She forgot to factor in the price of tax, and was thus short (missing) the $2 needed to buy the shoes." This sentence means that the girl did not remember to calculate the price of tax, so she does not have enough money to buy the shoes.
