1.can与be able to
表示“经过努力设法做成某事”时不用can,应用be able to。can表示“能力”时,侧重于因有某种知识和技能而能办到某事。
【典例】 用could或was able to填空

疑难突破
解析 由句意可知,此处应该是所有人经过努力最后出去了,所以应该用was able to。
答案 was able to
2.can’t与may not表示推测
can’t表示“不可能”,may not表示“可能不,或许不”。很明显,can’t比may not语气强。
【典例】 It ________ be the postman at the door.It’s only six o’clock now.
答案 can’t
解析 can’t不可能,在此表示有把握的否定推测,符合句意。
3.can’t,mustn’t,needn’t
can’t指“无能力”;mustn’t指“不允许,一定不要”;needn’t指“不必”。
【典例】 用can’t,mustn’t或needn’t填空
①There is a meeting inside.You__________ make any noise.
答案 mustn’t
解析 句意:里面在开会,你不许制造任何噪音。故应填mustn’t。

解析 句意:他太小了不能维持生计。故应填can’t。
答案 can’t
③According to today’s weather report,it does not rain,so you___________ take the umbrella.

1.虚拟语气用于条件句中的4种情况

If there had been no air in the tube,the result of the experiment would have been more accurate.
如果管子里没有空气,实验的结果就会更精确。
If he were to come tomorrow, things would be easier.
如果他明天来,事情就容易多了。
2.虚拟语气用于名词性从句中的4种条件
(1)在“It is+important/necessary/natural/strange/essential/vital/a pity+that ...”句型中,谓语动词用“(should+)动词原形”。
It’s vital that we (should) take our safety driving along the road seriously.
重视道路安全驾驶是至关重要的。
(2)在would rather (that)后的宾语从句中,从句的谓语动词如果表示现在或将来要发生的动作,从句用一般过去时;如果表示过去发生的动作,从句用过去完成时。
I’d rather he had gone to the seaside with me the day before yesterday.
要是他前天和我去海边就好了。
(3)句中含有以下单词或其变形时,该句中的名词性从句(宾语从句、表语从句、主语从句、同位语从句)部分常用虚拟语气,其谓语动词形式为“should+动词原形”,其中should可以省略。
He suggested that we (should) start off early the next day.
他建议我们第二天早点出发。
(4)wish后宾语从句中的虚拟语气
①对现在的虚拟: 过去式(be的过去式用were)

我们该出发了。
He messed the project up, but he behaved as if nothing had happened.
他把计划搞砸了,但他表现得若无其事。
1.虚拟条件句中的省略与倒装
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。
Had he caught the morning train, he would not have been late for the meeting. 要是他赶上了早晨的火车,那他开会就不会迟到了。
疑难突破
2.错综时间条件句
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发生的时间加以调整。
If we had booked a table earlier, we wouldn’t be standing here in a queue. (if条件句是对过去的虚拟,而主句是对现在的虚拟)
如果我们早些订位子,现在也就不用站在这里排队了。
3.含蓄虚拟条件句
(1)有时假设的情况不用条件句表达,而是用but for, without等介词(短语)来表示。
We wouldn’t have finished the project on time without your timely help.
如果没有你的及时帮助,我们就不能按时完成那项工程。
(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”。
1.But for your help we ____________________________________________.
如果没有你的帮助,我们的实验是不会成功的。
2.If a person’s clothes were dirty and worn, he __________________________,
and annoy him in every way.
如果遇见衣衫褴褛的人,他就会拿石头砸过去,或者用其他手段骚扰人家。

答案
1.was established [考查时态语态和主谓一致。根据时间状语“around 3,500 years ago”可知是过去时态,主语“The first zoo”和谓语动词establish 是被动关系。又因主语是第三人称单数,故填 was established。]
2.built [考查时态。句中“Five hundred years later”是过去的时间状语,谓语需要用过去式,故填 built。]
3.consisted [考查时态。本句的语境是过去,谓语动词用过去式,故填 consisted。]
4.were replaced [考查时态语态和主谓一致。主语“the zoos”和谓语动词replace 为被动关系,并且是过去时态,且主语是复数,所以用were replaced。]
5.(were) kept [考查时态语态和主谓一致。“animals there were studied and________”为并列关系,故填(were) kept。]
6.understood [考查时态。“As early as the 1940s”是过去的时间状语,谓语要用过去式,故填 understood。]
7.have tried/have been trying [考查时态和主谓一致。时间状语为“Since then”,谓语常用现在完成时,此处也可用现在完成进行时表示动作一直持续进行。又因主语zoos是复数,故填have tried/have been trying。]
8.to save [考查非谓语动词。rely on sb to do sth 依靠某人做某事,故填to save。]
9.(are) watched [考查时态语态和主谓一致。主语animals和谓语动词watch 是被动关系,且此处与and前面的are fed...为并列关系,故填(are) watched。]
10.are playing [考查时态和主谓一致。由时间状语now可知,此处应该使用现在进行时。故填 are playing。]
Ⅱ.短文改错
The date of my departure for Wellington is drawing nearly,and I am busy with preparations.I have been signed up for a one-month advanced course arranging for high school students.Studying there is expensive but I think it would be meaningful.To help to cover the cost of my study,I decide to find the part-time job there.It’ll be great if I succeed finding one before I arrive.Fortunately,my aunt Sally,who has a wide social network in Wellington than me,can lend me a hand. She told me there might be anyone in need of a house cleaner,gardener,and babysitter for their children.I’m really looking forward to my study tours in Wellington.
答案与解析
①副词误用。nearly作副词意为“几乎,差不多”,near作副词意为“临近”。根据句意可知,此处应用near。
②语态误用。sign up for“报名参加”与主语I是主动关系,故应用现在完成时的主动形式。
③非谓语动词误用。分析句子结构和句意可知,此处非谓语动词作后置定语修饰course,arrange与course是逻辑上的动宾关系,故用动词的-ed形式作定语。
④时态误用。此处表达从现在看将来要发生的事情,故用一般将来时。
⑤冠词误用。此处意为“一份兼职工作”,表示泛指,故用a。
⑥介词漏用。succeed in doing sth“成功做成某事”是固定搭配,in不可以省略。
⑦比较等级误用。根据语境可知,此处有比较的含义,应用形容词的比较级。
⑧代词误用。此处表示她告诉我可能有人需要人来做某项工作,而不是她告诉我会有任何一个人需要,故用someone。
⑨连词误用。根据句意可知,此处表示选择关系,故用or。
⑩名词单复数误用。此处表示作者这次的惠灵顿学习之旅,应该用单数。(共27张PPT)

情态助动词
英语动词分成主动词(Main Verb)和助动词(Auxiliary)两大类,情态助动词(Modal Auxiliary)属于助动词,本身具有一定的词义,但必须和动词原形连用构成句子的谓语。它们没有非限定形式和词形变化,大多一词多义,因此在意义和用法上有不少交叉的地方。
情态助动词简介
情态动词的基本用法
1.can和could的用法
(1)表示“能力”。(can表示现在的能力,could表示过去的能力)
—No one can be compared with Yao Ming in playing basketball.
—在打篮球方面,无人能与姚明相媲美。
(2)表示礼貌地请求别人做某事或允许别人做某事,意为“能,可以”。(Permission)
—What should I wear to the party
—Well,it isn't very formal. You can wear whatever you like.
——晚会我应该穿什么?
——晚会不太正式,你可以穿自己喜欢的任何衣服。

Can/Could I use you dictionary
-Yes, you can.
情态动词的基本用法
1.can和could的用法
(3)表示惊讶,常用在否定句和疑问句中。

注:the differences between “can” and “be able to”

2.may和might的用法
(1)may和might表示“许可”。(Permission)

She may be at home today.
(3) may用于祈使句中表示祝愿
May you be happy forever!
may well和may as well结构
(1)“may well+动词原形”是一种常用结构,意为“完全能,很可能”,相当于“be very likely to do”。如:
He may well be proud of his son.
他大可为他的儿子感到自豪。
(2)“may as well+动词原形”意为“最好,倒不如”。如:
You may as well do it at once.你最好马上就做这件事。

She doesn't get up so early as she used to.她不像以前那样起得那么早了。
情态动词的基本用法
6.need和dare的用法
need和dare两者既可用作情态动词也可用作实义动词。作实义动词时,有人称和数的变化,可用于肯定句、否定句或疑问句中,构成否定句或疑问句时要用助动词do,does,did;作情态动词时,没有人称和数的变化,直接接动词原形,只用于否定句和疑问句中,构成否定句和疑问句时不用助动词。
另外,dare作情态动词时,还可用于条件句中,过去式为dared;作实义动词时,dare常用于疑问句或否定句,后面的to也可省略;I dare say是习惯说法,意为“我想,大概”。
