【语法精讲】
一、概述
情态动词表示说话人的语气或情绪，如可能、意愿、猜测、义务、需要等。
情态动词有以下特征：
1．没有人称和数的变化(have to 除外)。
2．有一定的词义，但不能单独作谓语，后面接动词原形。
3．多数情态动词都有过去式，如can—could，may—might, will—would, dare—dared等。情态动词的“时态”并不是区分时间的主要标志。很多情况下，情态动词的原形和过去式都可用于多种时态。
二、情态动词的基本用法
1．must与have to的用法
(1)must表示推测，语气最为肯定，一般只用于肯定句，意为“一定，准是”。
◆She must be tired after such a long walk.
走了这么长的路，她一定累了。
(2)must表示义务、必要性、命令等，意为“必须，应该”，更强调主观态度。
①must用于一般疑问句时，其肯定答语应用“Yes, you must.”。其否定答语应用“No, you needn’t.”或“No, you don’t have to.”。
②must的否定式为must not/mustn’t，表示禁止。
◆The law states that people mustn’t drive after drinking alcohol.
法律禁止人们酒后驾车。
◆Still we must climb and dream about what’s at the top of our mountain.
我们必须勇于攀登人生的巅峰并憧憬美好未来。
◆—Must I finish the work tomorrow
——我明天必须完成这份工作吗？
—Yes, you must.(No, you needn’t/don’t have to.)
——是的，你必须完成。(不，不必。)
(3)must表示“偏要，偏偏”。表示说话者对主语发出的动作是不满的，甚至是生气的。
◆If you must go, at least wait until the storm is over.
如果你非要走的话，至少等到暴风雨结束。
(4)have to强调客观需要，意为“不得不，必须”，后跟动词原形。口语中也常说have got to。它的特点是have有人称、时态的变化。
◆You don’t have to run fast or for long to see the benefit.(否定句)
你没必要为看到效果而跑太快或时间太长。
◆I have to change the time for the lesson from morning to afternoon for some reasons.(肯定句)
由于某些原因我不得不把上课时间由早晨改到下午。
◆Where have you to go next？(疑问句)
下一步你必须去哪里？
[温馨提示]
must和have to的区别
(1)在否定结构中，don’t have to表示“不必”，mustn’t表示“禁止”。
(2)二者都是“必须”的意思，have to表示客观的需要，must表示说话人主观上的看法，即主观的必要。
◆We have to finish the work before lunch.
我们必须在午饭前完成这项工作。(强调客观情况迫使，如不完成就会……，是不得已而为之。)
◆We must finish the work before lunch. 我们必须在午饭前完成这项工作。(强调有义务早完成工作，不要拖延。)
2．can与could的用法
(1)表示能力，常译为“能，会”。could是can的过去式，表示过去的能力。
◆I can speak English and French, but I can’t speak Japanese.
我会讲英语和法语，但是不会讲日语。
◆When she was 8 years old, she could play the piano very well.
当她八岁时，她就能很好地弹钢琴了。
(2)表示推测，意为“可能”，常用于否定句和疑问句中。
◆—Can the lady over there be our boss
——在那边的那位女士可能是我们的老板吗？
—It can’t be her.I saw our boss in the office just now.
——不可能是她。我刚刚看见我们的老板在办公室里。
◆My glasses aren’t here.Where can I have put them
我的眼镜不在这里。我可能把它们放哪儿了呢？
(3)表示许可或请求(在陈述句中属于“许可”，在疑问句中属于“请求”)，常译为“可以”；could比can的语气更加委婉。
◆—Can/Could I use your computer？(请求允许)
——我可以用一下你的电脑吗？
—Of course, you can.(表示允许)
——当然可以。
(4)表示理论上或习惯上的可能性，意为“可能会”。
◆Jogging can be beneficial to the health.
慢跑可能对身体健康有益。
[易混辨析]
can (1)单纯地表示一个人有某种能力；(2)只有过去式could
be able to (1)表示某人通过努力、克服困难做成某事；(2)可用于各种时态
◆He could swim when he was five years old.
他5岁时就会游泳。
◆After years of hard work he was able to win the prize.
经过多年的艰苦努力，他终于获了奖。
3．had better的用法
(1)had better 表示“最好……”，其否定形式为 had better not。
◆He warned me that I had better not say anything about it.
他警告我对此事最好只字不提。
(2)had better表示提出建议、劝告或命令等，含有“应该做某事”之意。
◆I thought you had better have my opinion first.
我想你最好先听听我的意见。
◆It’s very cold outside.You’d better put on more clothes.

◆She dare not go out alone at night.
她晚上不敢独自出门。
◆The little girl dare not speak in public.
小女孩不敢在公众面前说话。
5．need的用法
need作情态动词时，后跟动词原形，表示“需要，有必要”，无人称和数的变化，多用于否定句、疑问句或条件句中。
◆If you are time poor, you need run for only half the time to get the same benefits as other sports.
如果你时间不充裕，你只需要跑一半的时间就可以获得和其他运动同样的效果。
◆My room is a mess, but I needn’t clean it before I go out tonight.I can do it in the morning.
我的房间很乱，但今晚出去之前我不需要打扫，我会早晨打扫的。
◆—Need I make an appointment with Doctor Wang ahead of time
——我需要与王医生提前预约吗？
—Yes, you must./—No, you needn’t.
