it might take vs it might takes

'It might take' is the proper English phrasing. In this case, 'take' is the base form of the verb because 'might' is a modal verb that is followed by the base form of the main verb. 'It might takes' is incorrect because 'takes' is the third person singular form of the verb, which is not used after 'might.'
