can和could的基本用法经典解析知识点讲练 情态动词表示说话人在能力、必要、义务或猜测等方面的语气或态度,有自已的词义,但不能单独作谓语动词,必须和动词原形一起构成谓语动词,只有情态动词ought要和带to的动词不定式连用,将情态动词置于主语之前即构成其疑问式,在情态动词之后加not既构成其否定式。没有人称和数的变化。如:can, may, must, would, should, need, dare, might, used to 等。 1.can和could (could为can的过去式) 的基本用法 ①表示能力,如:He can speak English better than you. ②在疑问句和否定句中表示“怀疑”、“猜测”或“可能性”, ③表示“许可”时can可以和may换用, 如:You can (may) go home now. ④如果要表示语气婉转,可用could代替can,这时could不再是can的过去式, 如:Could you come again tomorrow? ⑤can和be able to都可表示能力,两者在意思上没有什么区别。但是can只能有现在式和过去式,而be able to则有更多的形式,且can指一般能力,able to 可表示具体能力 如:He will be able to do the work better. 语法易错题 英语单词记忆 高中英语教材 2、may和might (might为may的过去式)的基本用法 (1)表示允许或征询对方许可,有“可以”之意, 如:You may use my dictionary. 在回答对方说“可以做某事”或“不可以做某事”时,一般多不用may或 may not,以避免语气生硬或不容气。而用比较婉转的说法进行回答。 如:---- May I use this dictionary? ---- Yes, please. 或 ----Certainly. 在请求对方许可时,如果Might I…? 就比用May I…? 语气更婉转些, 如:May I have a look at your new computer? 但是表示“阻止”或“禁止”对方做某事时,要用must not代替may not, 如:---- May we swim in this lake? ---- No, you mustn’t. It’s too dangerous. (2)may或 might都可以表示可能性,表示“或许”、“可能”之意,如果用might表示可能性,则语气更加不肯定,如:They may (might) be in the library now . 3、must的基本用法 (1)must表示“必须”、“应该”之意,其否定式 must not,缩写形式为 mustn't,表示“不应该”,“不准”、“不许可”或“禁止”之意, 如:We must study hard and make progress every day. You mustn't touch the fire. 注意:对以must提出的疑问句,如作否定回答时,要用needn't或用don't (doesn't) have to (不 必)来回答,而不用mustn't,因为mustn't表示的是“禁止”或“不许可”之意 如:---- Must we finish the work tomorrow? ---- No, you needn't (don't have to), but you must finish it in three days. 在肯定句中must可以表示推测,表示“一定”或“必定”之意,如:---- Whose new bike can it be? ---- It must be Liu Dong's.
