✨May as well 🆚 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.
🅰️:What time does the film finish?
🅱️:I think it’s ten o’clock.
🅰️:Uh-huh. We may as well eat in town before it, then.
🚩We can make may as well and might as well stronger by using just after may or might:
🔹Well, I think if it’s a choice between a job and a place at college, you may just as well take the job. At least you’ll earn some money.
🔹We don’t know anyone here and they’re discussing stuff that doesn’t concern us. We might just as well leave.
⚠️Warning:
May as well and might as well don’t mean the same as may also and might also, in the sense of ‘possibly in addition’:
🔹Before you go hiking, buy yourself a good pair of boots. You may also need to buy thick walking socks. (in addition to boots, you might need to buy socks)
❌Not: You may as well buy …

✨Headers and tails
Headers and tails are common in speaking, but very uncommon in writing.
🚩We use headers when we place information at the front of what we say. This can help our listeners to understand more easily what we are referring to. Headers can consist of a noun phrase or noun phrases or whole clauses. The header is followed by a pronoun (capitalized in the examples) which refers back to the header:
🔹Anna, David’s sister, SHE’s going to New York for her birthday.
🔹That big house, is IT where the doctor lives?
🔹Going to football matches, THAT’s what my cousin Jim likes best.
🚩Tails occur at the end of what we say. They are commonly noun phrases. Tails refer back to a pronoun (capitalized in the examples), and commonly give more information about it. Like headers, they help a listener to understand more easily what we are referring to:
🔹THEY’re not cheap to buy, cars in Singapore.
🔹SHE’s a really good marathon runner, Alice.
