"May" Versus "Going to" worksheet (might, will, going to)

(TESOL Worksheets--Future Forms, Modals)
May and Going To: drive, docs, pub
Might, Will, Going drive, docs, pub
[This is designed to teach for comprehension--the difference between certain and uncertain future forms.  I've used this a couple times with different textbooks.  The first textbook was emphasizing the differences between "may"and "going to", so the first sheet includes only those two forms.  The second sheet was designed for a textbook lesson on "might" and contrasts might with other forms which are more certain: "will" and "going to".  There were some formatting issues when copying this into blogger, but ideally the pictures are supposed to line up clearly over the phrases "I'm not sure" and "I'm sure"]
