May as well or Might as Well?
We can use may as well and might as well for making suggestions. We can use them to say what we think is the easiest or most logical course of action when we cannot see a better alternative. They are both fairly informal. Might as well is more common than may as well:
You might as well get a taxi from the station. It’ll be quicker than me coming in to get you.
A: What time does the film finish?
B: I think it’s ten o’clock.
A: Uh-huh. We may as well eat in town before it, then.
