情态动词专项练习题
一、核心知识点总结
(一)can
表体力/智力上的“能够、会”,可与be able to互换;将来时表能力用will be able to。
表口语化许可,否定式为can’t;提建议时用could语气更婉转。
仅用于否定句表推测,意为“一定不是”。
(二)may
表许可,比can更正式,否定式may not(按规定不许可);回答May I... 否定用mustn’t(明确禁止)。
肯定句中表“可能”的推测,否定式may not;疑问句表“可能”需用can。
(三)must
表主观“必须”,否定式为needn’t/don’t have to(不必),而非mustn’t。
仅用于肯定句表极肯定推测,意为“一定、准是”。
与have to区别:must强调主观意愿,have to强调客观需求,有has to(三单)、had to(过去式)、will have to(将来时)变化。
(四)should
表建议、劝告,意为“应该”,可与ought to互换。
表义务、职责,强调“应当”做的正确之事。
(五)need
情态动词:仅用于疑问句、否定句,后接动词原形,否定式为needn’t,无人称和时态变化。
实义动词:后接名词、动名词(表被动,相当于need to be done)或to do,否定式为don’t/doesn’t/didn’t need to do。
