Mister Micawber,

Then if it is an affirmative or negative sentence may or might can be be used wih all subject pronouns, but referring to questions the rules are different. Only May I or Might I, isn't it?

No, I just gave you a couple of examples. If you give me the sentence that concerns you, I will tell you whether all the personal pronouns are possible.
