Questions & Answers about Jutro może być.
Here it is a form of the verb móc. So może być means can be / may be.
This is a very common point of confusion, because może can also mean maybe as an adverb. The clue here is that it is followed by the infinitive być, which is exactly what you expect after a modal verb:
- może być = can be / may be
- compare with adverbial Może jutro = Maybe tomorrow
So in Jutro może być, może is verbal, not just maybe.
Because after a modal verb like móc, Polish normally uses the infinitive.
So the pattern is:
- mogę być = I can be
- możesz być = you can be
- może być = he/she/it can be or an impersonal it can be
This is similar to English:
- can be
- not can is
So może być is grammatically the normal structure.
