情态动词can/could的用法

①表示一般的能力,指现在、过去无论什么时候想做就能做到的能力;
could表示过去的能力,can表示现在或将来的能力。
拓 展
e.g. A hen can’t swim. 母鸡不会游泳。
I couldn’t play the piano until I was five years old.
直到五岁我才会弹钢琴。
情态动词can/could的用法
②表示“理论上的可行性”,即事件或情况可能发生但并不牵涉到是否会真的发生。有时指一时的情况,常译为“有时候会”。
拓 展
e.g. Driving on these roads can be very dangerous.
在这些路上开车有时是非常危险的。
③ 在否定句和疑问句中,can表示可能性,有惊异、怀疑、不相信之意,这时can与could没有时间上的差异,只是could语气要轻一些。
e.g. How can that be true 这怎么可能?
What you said couldn’t be true. 你说的不可能是真的。
情态动词can/could的用法
④用could比用can更加迟疑不决,没有把握时用could。

e.g. Can I watch TV for a while, Mom 妈妈,我能看一会儿电视吗
Could I take this seat 我可以坐这个座位吗

⑤当表示允许别人做某事时,用can而不用could。
拓 展
—Could I use your phone for a while 我能用一下你的电话吗
—Yes, of course you can. 是的,你当然可以。
情态动词can/could的用法
⑥表示提议和请求。在语气上could较客气,但can较肯定。
拓 展
e.g. I could/can do the paper work for you, if you are too busy.
如果你太忙的话,我可以帮你做文书工作。
Could/Can you make some room for me, please
你能给我腾点地方吗
2. They both like playing ball games. 他们两个都喜欢球类运动。
(1) both“两者都”,作they的同位语,它放在实义动词前,be动词和情态动词后。
e.g. We are both students.我们都是学生。
(2) both表示“两者都”;三者或者三者以上用all。
e.g. My parents are both teachers. 我的父母都是教师。
My friends all went to the park yesterday. 我的朋友们昨天都去公园了。
(3) Both of+复数代词 both (of the)+复数名词
e.g. Both (of the) boys are very good. 两个男孩都很好。
