Language practice

情态动词may和might的用法探究
情态动词本身有一定的词义, 但不能单独作谓语, 需要和其他动词(原形)一起构成谓语, 为谓语动词增添情态色彩, 表示说话人对有关行为或事物的态度和看法, 认为其可能、应该或必要等。我们学习过的can和 may都属于这类词。
一、表示允许或请求
may和might表示允许或请求时,意为“可以”。其中,might表示的语气较委婉(不表示过去)。如:
May I come tomorrow
Might I have a cup of coffee
I asked her if I might call and see her.
You may leave at any time.
You may use the room if you keep it clean.
情态动词may和might
二、表示推测
may和might都可以用来表示推测,意为“也许;可能”。它们的否定形式分别是may not和might not。如:
I think David may be at school.
That woman may not be Mark’s mother.
How long might the travel take
Susan might not return tomorrow.
【注意】may和might表推测时,may比might 表示的可能性要大一些;而might使说话的语气更加委婉,表示实现的可能性比较小。
英语中表示可能的方式有很多, 除使用情态动词may/might以外, 还可以通过will以及表示“可能”的形容词和副词表达, 常用的有:
It is possible to do sth. ...
It is possible that …
主语+will probably+v.等
e.g. It is possible that it’ll be snowy in the night.
晚上有可能会下雪。
It’ll probably be cold and wet.
天气很可能会又湿又冷。
注: probably表示“很可能”,所以表示的可能性要比possible大。
