情态动词
一、概念
情态动词一般不能单独使用，有其自己的意思。和另一谓语动词连用构成谓语。不同的情态动词有不同的意思及用法。
二、情态动词分类
表示能力：can be able to
表示许可：can may
表示必须：must have to ought to should
表示虚拟：should could would
表示推测：must should can ought to need
其它：dare shall will
三、情态动词的主要用法
【表示能力】
can to able to 这两个都可以表示能力。can指单纯的表示一个人有某种能力。而be able
to则表示某人通过努力、克服困难做成某事。另外be able to还可以用于各种时态；can只能用于现在或过去(could)。
He can swim. Although he can’t swim, yet he was able to cross the river.
【表示许可】
can ( could ) may ( might )
可以表示许可。用它们的过去式，则语气更加委婉、客气。can主要用于第一、二人称。may主要用于第一人称。
Can you finish your work tonight Could I come to see you tomorrow
May I ask you a question Might I use your pen for a while
注意：用May I…征求对方的许可比较正式，语气比较客气；而用Can I….常用于口语中。
【表示必须】
must have to ought to should都可以表示必须、应该、必要。但它们用法各异。
Must 表示要做什么的愿望是发自内心的主动的；
I must study hard so that I can pass the entrance examinations of
college.
have to 指要做某事是被动的受某种压力而为的；
I have to study hard or my father will beat me.
ought to 表示应该、理应做什么；
You ought to clean the classroom , for it is your turn today.
should 表示应该多含有责备之一。
You should have cleaned the classroom yesterday, but you didn’t.
【表示虚拟】
should 用在表示请求、建议、命令等次后面的从句中，should可以省略。也可以用在if引导的条件状语从句中表示与将来事实可能相反。
would 用在含有if引导的条件状语从句的主句中。也可以用其它情态动词。
【其它情态动词的用法】
◎ need 作为情态动词表示“需要、必须”，仅用于否定句或疑问句。在肯定句中一般用must, have to, ought
to或should代替。
You needn’t come so early. Need I finish the work today
◎ dare 作为情态动词主要用于疑问句、否定句或条件状语从句中，一般不用于肯定句中。
How dare you say I’m unfair.
He daren’t speak English before such a crowd, dare he
◎ I dare say 是一个固定搭配。表示“我猜测，可能、或许”后面一般跟从句。
I dare say he will come.
◎ shall 用于第一人称，表示征求对方的意见(说话人做某事)。
What shall we do this evening
用于第一、第三人称疑问句中，表示说话人征求对方的意见或向对方请示。
Shall we begin our meeting
When shall he be able to leave the hospital
用于第二、第三人称，表示说话人给对方的命令、警告、允诺或威胁。
You shall fail if you don’t follow my advice. (警告)
He shall have the book when I finish reading. (允诺)
He shall be punished for what he has done. (威胁)
◎ will 一般用于第二人称表示请求、建议对方做某事；如果用would语气就更加委婉。
Will you pass me the dictionary Would you pass me the dictionary
也可以表示意愿、愿望和决心。
I will never do that again. They asked me if I would do that again.
◎ had better “最好做什么”
------ You’d better go now. ----- Yes, we had.
◎ would rather “宁愿做什么”

四、情态动词表示“推测”的用法
情态动词表示“推测”时，要记住“三种推测两种形式”。
◎ 三种推测： ①对过去发生动作或状态的推测；
②对现在状态的推测；
③对将来发生动作或状态的推测
◎ 两种形式： ①用情态动词加完成事态表示对过去发生动作或状态的推测；
②用情态动词加动词原型表示对现在或将来发生动作或状态的推测
