Which one is correct? There might come a day or it might come a day? And why so? Thanks

There might come a day, A day may come, If a day comes to pass that...- these are all subjunctive and refer to possibilities as well as hypothetical situations and not things as they are. There might come a day when I no longer enjoy throwing rocks at road signs, but that day is not today. - this option is the least severe in terms of how it is heard, I would use it for just about anything, A day may come that you can't find your house key, so let's hide one behind this rock just in case. -this option sounds far more formal than the first as the word "may" is not particularly common in daily speech. If a day comes to pass that you cannot walk, I will carry you. -this option is the most severe and as a result I would only use it when the desire is to communicate the utmost sincerity.

Hey João, ''There + verb'' is considered to be a fixed grammatical expression used to introduce sentences in which a state, fact or situation is being announced. The most common sentence constructions regarding the usage of 'there' are: 1) 'There is/are' (there was/were; there has/have been...) E.g.: There is a new place in town we should consider visiting.'' E.g.: There are so many trees around here! E.g.: There was very little money to be spent on a birthday gift. E.g.: There were so many people talking in the room that I could barely hear the lecturer. E.g.: There has been a conspiracy to conquer our lands. E.g.: There have been too many people out on the streets demanding justice. 2) 'There may/might' E.g.: There may be a solution to the problem! E.g.: There might come a day when we shall be granted freedom. 3) 'There seem/appear' E.g.: There seem to be several problems with the car. E.g.: There appears to be a mistake here! 4) 'There will/is going to' E.g.: There will be someone waiting for me at the airport. E.g.: There is going to be a party this weekend. Hope that helps!!!

It's "There might come a day...". There's no grammatical reason for it. It's just a fixed expression. But then again, there might come a day when I have a better answer.... ;-)
