情态动词(Modals)表示说话人的某种语气或者情绪,如:可能,意愿,猜测,义务,需要等。情态动词本身具有一定的词义。常见的情态动词包括can (could), may (might), will (would), shall (should), ought to,had better, must, have to,need, dare, used to等。
本单元主要讲情态动词:be able to, dare, have to, had better, need.
1. 基本特征:
(1)情态动词不能单独做谓语,后面接动词原形;
(2)情态动词没有人称和数的变化(be able to,have to除外)
2. 基本用法:
be able to
dare&need
have to
had better
be able to do sth. = have the ability to do sth.
1.be able to 后接动词原形,表示某人能够做某事,有时态和数的变化。
2.be able to 用于过去时态时,表示 “某人过去或当时成功地做了某事”=managed to do sth/succeeded in doing。
