I've checked it out David ( http://www.englishforums.com/English/MightCouldDifference/2/... ) and you're absolutely right; it's also possible to use "might". Thank you! :-) Deborah

Splendid. Thank you Matthew [u r my 6-yr old grandson's namesake, by the way]. My own eyes were closing when I answered, and I completely forgot about "frente". Excellent choice. Regards.
