What's the different between "maybe", "might", "possibly", and "probably"? What's the different between "maybe", "might", "possibly", and "probably"? They're all have same meaning. When do we have to use it?

Grammatically, they function differently. Let's take the phrase "She went home." Might is a modal verb, which means only the base form of a verb can follow. No conjugations. "She might go home." (If she's still here and there's a weak possibility that she will go. A guess about the future.) "She might have gone home." (If she is not here and you really don't know what happened. Still a weak possibility. A guess about the past.) Possibly and probably come right before the verb. "She probably went home." "She possibly went home." (This is a little uncommon.) Maybe comes before the statement. "Maybe she went home."
