May might

Could you please explain the following , which has tormented me for quite a while. My teacher says that there are three kinds of " may/ might ". First, the "may / might" used for assumptions with 50 percent degree certainty like " he may be drunk now , he may have been drunk yesterday ". 2 may might for concession " he might have been there but I didn't see him , he may be rich but he is unhappy " Third - may for permission. I think that your rich and beautiful language has more meanings of may and might.Could you please elaborate on that .
