情态动词讲解
一、情态动词的意义: 情态动词表示说话人对所说动作的观点。如需要、可能、意愿、怀疑等。在形式上,情态动词一般没有人称和数的变化。有的情态动词没有时态的变化。情态动词本身词义不完全,不能单独做谓语动词,必须和不带to的动词原形连用。情态动词的否定式一般是在后边加not构成。一般疑问句通常将其提到句首。
二、情态动词的用法:
一)can, can’t
1.can表示能力。如:
We can speak a little English.我们能说一点儿英语。
2. can表示许可。如:
You can play basketball on weekends.周末你可以打篮球。
3. can表示请求。如:
Can you help me with my Chinese 你能帮助我学汉语吗?
