Period 5(Section B 3a-Self Check)
情态动词表示推测的用法
(1)must的用法
must用在肯定句中表示较有把握的推测,意为“一定”。“must+动词原形”和“must be+现在分词”分别表示对现在的状态和现在正在发生的事情的推测。如:①He must know my address. 他肯定知道我的地址。
②He must be studying in his room.
他一定正在房间里学习。
(2)can/could的用法
1)can表示推测时,常用于否定句或疑问句中。can't意为“一定不;不可能”,语气很肯定。如:
He can't be at home.
他一定不在家。
2)can/could后接be doing,表示对现在发生的动作进行猜测。如:
They can't be reading in the library.
他们不可能在图书馆看书。
3)could可用于表示有可能发生或可能是事实。还可用于表示客气、委婉、礼貌等请求语气。如:
①The plane could be delayed by fog.
飞机可能会因雾晚点。
②Could I call your first name
我可以用你的名字称呼你吗?
(3)may/might的用法
“may/might+动词原形”表示对现在或将来情况的推测;may/might+be doing表示对正在进行的情况的推测。may的语气强于might,常用于肯定句中,意为“也许;可能;大概”。如:
①You may be right.
你可能是对的。
②It might rain this afternoon.
今天下午可能会下雨。

It was a sunny afternoon. I was reading on a bus when an old man got on it. There were no empty seats, so he had to stand. I wanted to give my seat to him, but I was afraid that the other people on the bus would say, “That girl just wants to be praised.”
Suddenly, a boy behind me stood up and gave his seat to the old man. I regretted not having acted sooner.
From that I learned that we should be ready to help people in trouble and shouldn't care what other people say or think. If we do, the world will become much more beautiful!(110 words)
