8. In Alaska, the days are long and warm in summer, but may be cool in the evening.
9. You might need a sweater in the evening.
情态动词本身有一定的含义,为谓语动词增添情态色彩,表示说话人对有关行为或事物的态度和看法,认为其可能、应该或必要等。我们学过的 can 和 may 都属于这类词。
情态动词 may/might 表示“可能”
情态动词无人称和数的变化,后面接的动词需用原形,否定式是在情态动词后面加 not。
1. may和might 用于一般疑问句中,表示委婉的请求;
肯定回答用may;否定回答用mustn’t。如:
— May I use your pencil 可以用你的铅笔吗?
— Yes, you may. 是的,可以。
— No, you mustn’t. 不,不行。
may 和 might
She may not be working now.
John might be at home now.
Tim may come tomorrow.
There might be some rain tomorrow night.
2. may和might表示推测时,只能用于陈述句中,但在表示将来的可能情况时,might表示的可能性比may表示的可能性要小。如:
1. When you are travelling, bring a map because it _____ help you.
A. can’t B. mustn’t C. used to D. may
2. —_____ I take photos here
—No, you mustn’t. Don’t you see the sign “NO PHOTOS”
A. Would B. May C. Must
3. —Are you going to the cinema tonight
—I don’t know. I _____ go or I _____ stay at home.
A. will; will B. must; must C. should; should D. might; might
Practice
probably 表“可能”
probably为副词,意为“可能”,可能性很大,表示一种几乎完全肯定的意思。用于助动词、系动词、情态动词之后,实意动词之前。
主语+will probably + v.
It will probably be cold and wet.
His father is probably at home.
其他表示可能的常用句式为:
It is + possible + to do
It is + possible + that 从句
e.g Is it possible to visit Alaska in December
e.g It is possible that it will snow in the night.
注意:probably 表示“很可能”,所表示的可能性比 possibly 要大。

1. It _______ be cold and wet in Hong Kong in January.
2. Mary will ________ go to New York in the autumn.
3. It will ________ rain tomorrow, so I will stay at home and read a book.

Subject: Re: My visit to Britain
Dear Ms Wang,
It is good to hear that you may visit Britain. I think the best time to come is in October. It is usually warm and there may be some rain. Make sure you bring an umbrella. It might be cold too, so bring a sweater.
You may like to stay in a small hotel. You will not have to pay much for it. When you arrive in London, you can buy a weekly travel card to travel around the city.
I hope this helps you.
Yours,
Sally Marks
