二、情态动词
(一)概说
情态动词表示说话人的语气和观点.情态动词有一定的词义,但不能单独作谓语,它必须和表示动作或状态的不带to的不定式(ought除外)连用,构成复合谓语.情态动词只有情态意义,即它表示说话人对动作的观点,如需要、可能、意愿或怀疑等.情态动词主要有:can(could),may(might),must, ought to, need, dare(dared), have to(had to).此外shall, will, should, would在一定场合下也可用作情态动词.
(二)情态动词具有以下特征
1.在形式上,情态动词没有实义动词的各种变化,只有could, would, had to, might, should等几个过去式.其他如must, ought to等的过去式皆与现在式同形,且在各种人称后都用同样的形式
2.在意义上,大多数情态动词有多个意义.如can可表示“能够”“可能”“允许”等,may可表示“可能”“允许”“目的”“让步”等
3.在用法上,情态动词(除ought跟不定式外)与助动词一样,须后接动词原形,而构成谓语动词
(三)情态动词的用法
1.can的用法
(1)表示能力“会、能”等.

He can't be poor.他不可能贫穷.
He has not been able to finish the work in time.他没能及时完成工作.
I'll be able to see you tomorrow,我明天将能去看你.

He was able to go to Paris yesterday and he enjoyed himself very much.
他昨天设法去了巴黎,而且他玩得非常高兴.
(3)在否定句中could与be able to两者意思一样.

I wasn't able to swim to the other side of the river.我没能游到河的对岸去.
(4)can/could不应与be able to同时使用.

No, no, this can't be true.不,不,这不可能是真的.
How can you be so careless 你怎么能这样粗心呢
(4)表示“允许”或“请求允许”,其意思相当于may(可以),但can比may用得更广泛,can不仅表示说话人同意、允许,还可表示客观条件的许可.may通常表示说话人的许可.

Could you sign here please, Sir 先生,请在这儿签字好吗
3.may的用法
(1)表示客气或委婉的请求时用may,回答时也用may就会显得冷淡、不客气,所以最好避之而改用热情、客气的答语.
-May I come in 我可以进来吗
-Yes, please.可以,请进.
-May I borrow your bicycle 我可以借用一下你的自行车吗
-Certainly.当然可以.
(2)表示“可以”即表示说话人同意、许可,或在疑问句中,征询对方的许可.其否定式可用may not.但在表示“不可以”“不许”“禁止”“阻止”等意思时,常用must not(mustn't)代替may not.
-May I take this book out of the reading-room 这本书我可以带出阅览室吗
-No, you mustn't.不可以.
(3)表示可能.用来表示一件事或许会发生,或是某种情况可能会存在.通常只用于肯定或否定陈述句中,而不用于疑问句中.

He said that the news might be true.他说这消息可能是真的.
She asked if she might have my bike.她问是否可以借用我的自行车.
(2)代替may,表示可以做的事或可能发生的事.也可用于有礼貌地提出建议或请求,意为“可以”,在这种情况下,may和might无时间上的差别,只是更客气或更婉转些.
They might have a lot of work to do.他们可能有很多事要做.
Might I have a word with you 我可以同你说句话吗
5.must的用法
(1)表示“必须”“应当”.用第一人称时,表示说话人认为有义务、有必要做某事.用第二、三人称时,表示说话人命令或要求别人做某事;在疑问句中,表示询问对方的意图.
We must love our country.我们要爱国.
I must take a day off tomorrow.我明天必须请假一天.

We mustn't waste our time.我们不应该浪费我们的时间.
点拨
对must问句的否定回答,需要用;need not(needn't)不需要,或don't have to不必.
-Must I do my homework now 我现在必须做作业吗
-Yes, you must.是的,你非做不可.
-No, you needn't(need not)./don't have to.不,你不必现在做.
