情态动词的基本用法
一、表能力
1.(2013·江西高考)When I was a child, I ________ watch TV whenever I wanted to.
A.should B.could
C.must D.need
解析:选B 考查情态动词。句意:当我还是个孩子的时候,我什么时候想看电视就可以看。根据题干中的whenever I wanted to可知,此空应填could,表示一般的能力,指想做就能做到。
2.(2013·湖南高考)He ________ sleep, although he tried to, when he got on such a hunt for an idea until he had caught it.
A.wouldn't B.shouldn't
C.couldn't D.mustn't
解析:选C 考查情态动词。句意:尽管他想睡,但仍睡不着,(因为)当时他拼命想着一个主意,一直到想出来为止他才睡去。此处couldn't表示“不可能”,符合句意。
3.(2012·全国卷Ⅱ)I'm going to Europe on vacation together with John if I ________ find the money.
A.can B.might
C.would D.need
解析:选A 考查情态动词。句意:如果我能弄到钱,我就和John一起去欧洲度假。结合前后部分的内容可知,此处表示的是能力。故用can“能,会”。
——————————————————————————————————————

—I'm not sure, but I ________ go to the Rolling Stones concert.
A.must B.would

2.(2013·安徽高考)It ________ be the vocabulary that caused you the problem in the exercise because you know a lot of words.

A.lives B.would live
C.has lived D.were to live
解析:选D 考查虚拟语气。句意:Grace不想搬到纽约,因为她认为,如果她住到那里去,她就不能经常看到父母了。主句“Grace doesn't want to move to New York”说明Grace尚未搬到纽约,故此处表示的是对将来的虚拟,if引导的虚拟条件从句中可使用过去式或should+动词原形或were to+动词原形,D项当选。
4.(2012·浙江高考)Had they known what was coming next, they ________ second thoughts.
A.may have B.could have
C.must have had D.might have had
解析:选D 根据“Had they known ...”可知,此处是省略了if的条件句,表示与过去事实相反的假设,所以主句用should/would/could/might+have done结构,故D项正确。
类别 从句谓语动词 主句谓语动词
与现在事实相反 过去式(be用were) should/would/could/might+动词原形
与过去事实相反 had+过去分词 should/would/could/might+have+过去分词
与将来事实相反 过去式(be用were) should/would/could/might+动词原形
should+动词原形
were to+动词原形
if省略句 如果虚拟条件句中含有were/had/should,有时可把if省略,把were/had/should提到主语之前形成倒装,若为否定形式,not不可提前。
混合条件句 有时条件句的动作与主句动作发生的时间不一致,这时动词的形式应根据它们各自表示的时间加以调整。
含蓄条件句 ①有时假设的情况不用条件从句表达,而是用but for,without等介词(短语)或上下文来表示条件。②用连词otherwise,or等暗示后文与前面的情况相反,从而引出后文的虚拟语气。③虚拟条件通过but暗示出来,模式为“虚拟情况+but+真实情况”。

A.was B.be
C.were D.is
解析:选B 考查虚拟语气。此处考查的是recommend后面宾语从句中的虚拟语气,根据语法规则可知,从句中谓语动词应用“should+动词原形”,其中should可以省略,故选B项。

—I wish they______always late.
A.weren't B.hadn't been
C.wouldn't be D.wouldn't have been

1.wish后面宾语从句的虚拟语气
与现在事实相反 从句用一般过去时
与过去事实相反 从句用过去完成时
与将来事实相反 从句用would+动词原形

2.表示主张、命令、建议、要求等词后的宾语从句和同位语从句中常用“(should+)动词原形”结构。
