can与 could的用法
1.表示能力或可能性:
Eg. Everyone here can speak English. (表示能力)
Anybody can make mistakes.(表示可能,只用于现在时与过去时的肯定句中。)任何人都会犯错。(人无完人)
注意:can/could 表示能力,可能,只用于现在时和过去时(could)
Be able to 表示能力可以用于各种时态,且若表示过去的特定能力(即在过去特定场合做某事的能力),不能用could,而要用was/were able to do sth.
Eg. I’ll be able to speak French in another few months.(表示将来的能力)
His mother wasn’t at home, so he was able to go to see the film.(他能够而且的确去了,只能用was able to)他母亲不在家,因此,他可以看电影了。
2. 表示请求与许可
⑴ 对于现在或将来的“许可”
表示请求允许(即请求别人允许自己做某事),can 和could均可用,但用could语气更委婉。
Can(Could) I come in
此时也可用may 或might,其中might 和could 均不表示过去,只表委婉语气。
B. 表示给予允许(即自己允许别人做某事),一般只用can, 而不用could, 即could不能用于现在时态的简略答语中。
Eg. Could/Can I use your pen
--Yes, you can.(否定答语可用No, I’m afraid not.)
⑵ 对于过去的许可
表示过去一般性允许,用can 的过去式could.
表示过去特定的允许,不用could, 用was allowed to
3. can 表示惊讶,怀疑,不相信等态度,主要用在否定句中,疑问句或感叹句中。
Eg. Can this be an excuse for not giving them help
这难道能成为不帮助他们的理由?
This can’t be true. 这不可能是事实。
How can you be so careless!
你怎么这么粗心!
may 与might
⑴ 表示许可。在表示请求,允许时,might 比may 语气更委婉一些。在日常口语中,也常用can/could 换用。
Eg. May/Might/Can/Could I use your pen
其简略回答:Yes, you can/may.或 Yes, please.(表示肯定);No, you mustn’t. 或Please don’t. 或No, you may not. (表示否定)
⑵ 用于祈使句中表示祝愿。
Eg. May you succeed!
will 与would 的用法
⑴ 表示“意志,意愿”,可用于多种人称。(would表示过去)
Eg. Who will go with me 谁乐意和我去?
They said that they would help us. 他们说愿意帮助我们。
⑵ 表示请求,建议。Would 的语气比will婉转。
Eg. Would you like me to carry it for you
⑶ 表示某种倾向或习惯性动作,“总是会,老是,就是,”否定结构意为“不肯,不能”。这种用法不指将来时间,不能与表示将来时间的状语连用。(would指过去反复发生的动作或过去的一种倾向)
Eg. Boys will be boys. They are always naughty.
He told me the box wouldn’t open. 他告诉我盒子打不开了。
shall 与should 的用法
⑴ shall 用于第一人称,表示征求对方的意愿。
Eg. What shall we do this evening
⑵ shall 用于第一,三人称疑问句中,表示说话人征求对方的意见或向对方请示。
Eg. Shall we sit here
Shall the boy wait outside (=Do you want the boy to wait outside )
⑶ shall 用于第二,三人称,表示说话人给对方的命令,警告,威胁,强制,允诺或决心等。
Eg. You should do as I say. 按我说的做。(命令)
You shall be sorry for what you have done. 对你的所作所为你会感到后悔的。(警告)
He shall be punished. 他回受到惩罚。(威胁)
⑷ should 表示劝告,建议,命令时也可用ought to. 但ought to 语气重,含有“按道理应该……”之意,用should时表示自己的主观看法,如要反映客观情况或涉及法律,义务和规定时一般用ought to.在疑问句中,通常用should 代替ought to.
Eg. You should go to class right away.
(5) should 用于征求意见主要用于第一人称的疑问句形式:
Eg. Should I open the window
该用法与Shall I (we)… 的用法相似。
(6) should 表示意外或惊讶。
Eg. It’s strange that he should come so late. 他竟然来这么迟真是奇怪。
must 的用法
表示“必须,一定要”。注意以下的用法:
⑴ 可用于肯定句,否定句或疑问句。用于否定句时,mustn’t 的意思是“严禁,一定不要”,而不是“不必”
Eg. You must finish it today. You mustn’t go.
⑵ 回答must 引出的问句时,如果是否定的回答,不能用mustn’t,而用needn’t 或don’t have to.
Eg. –Must we hand in our English exercise books
--Yes, you must.(No, you needn’t/don’t have to)
2. 表示“应该”。相当于should, ought to的意思。
Eg. You should/must say hello to her. 你应当跟她打招呼。
3. 表示“偏偏”。有时表示不巧,有时表示固执,通常都是指令人不快的事。
Eg. Must you make so much noise 你就非得弄出这么大的声音吗?
need 和dare的用法
Need 表示“需要,必需”。通常只用在于否定句或疑问句以及if或whether之后,一般不用于肯定句(情态动词)
Eg. He needn’t pay for it. 他不必支付它。
--Need you go now
--Yes, I must.(No, I needn’t.)
2. Dare 表示“敢”。通常用于否定句,疑问句和条件从句中。(情态动词)
Eg. Dare you tell her the truth
3. Need 和dare常用做实义动词,有时态,人称和数的变化,所不同的是,做实义动词时,在肯定句中,后通常接带to 的不定式。
Eg. He needs to finish it this evening.
I dare to swim across this river.
Must, can, could, may, might表示推测,判断的用法比较:
Must 表示推测非常肯定的推测,“一定,准是”,后跟动词原形表示对于现在的情况的肯定判断;“must+be+doing”表示“想必正在做某事”.
Eg. You must know Ann. (=I’m sure that you know Ann.)
must have done “一定做过”,表示对发生在过去的事情进行肯定推测。其否定形式为“can/could not have done”.
注意:
Must 表示推测时,其反意疑问句应根据动词的实际时态而变化。
Eg. He must be joking, isn’t he
It must have rained last night, didn’t it
You must have been to America, haven’t you/didn’t you
(陈述句中有过去的时间状语时,用didn’t + 主语来反问,否则用didn’t/haven’t + 主语都行)
2. can 与could 表示的可能性比must 小。(could 比can 的可能性要小)
⑴ 对现在或将来的推测,两者均可用,但can 通常只用于否定句(can’t do/be)或疑问句中,一般不用于肯定句,而could 则可用于肯定句,否定句和疑问句。
Eg. It can’t be true. 那不可能是真的。
What can they be doing 他们会在干什么呢?
We could go there this summer. 今年夏天我们可能要去那儿。(将来可能性)
⑵ 对过去的推测,必须在can, could之后接动词的完成式。但此时can 仍只用于否定句(can’t have done)或疑问句中,不用于肯定句;而could 则可用于各种句型.
Eg. He can’t [couldn’t] have seen her there. 他不可能在那儿见到了她。
He could have gone home. 他可能已经回家了。
注意:
can/could 表示推测时,其反意疑问句也是根据动词的实际时态加以变化。
Eg. You can’t be serious, are you
B. Could 后接动词的完成式,除表示对过去的推测外,还有以下用法(不用can)
① 表示过去没有实现的可能性(某事本来可以发生,却没有发生)。
Eg. He could have told her, but he didn’t choose to. 他本来可以告诉她的,但他却没有。
② 用来委婉地责备某人过去应该做某事而没有去做:
Eg. You could have helped him. 你本来应该来帮助他的。
may/might 可能性最小,表示说话人对某事没有把握。might 比may 语气更不确定。
⑴ 接动词原形,对现在或将来的推测。
Eg. He may/might tell his wife.
⑵ 接动词进行式,动作正在进行或将要发生。
Eg. He may/might be writing a letter.
⑶ 接动词完成式,对过去可能发生的事进行推测。
Eg. She may/might have read it in the paper.
注意:
① can 和may 均可表示推测,两者均可用于否定句,但是含义不同:cannot “不可能”,may not “可能不”。
Eg. It can’t be true. 这不可能是真的。
It may not be true. 这可能不是真的。
②might 后接动词完成式,除表示对过去的推测外,还有以下的用法(不用may)
表示过去某事可能发生而实际上却没有发生。
Eg. A lot of men died who might have been saved. 很多人本来可以获救的却死了。
B. 表示委婉的批评或责备。
Eg. You might have made greater progress. 你的进步本来可以更大一些的。

注意:mean to do something ; meaning doing something
辨析: celebrate congratulate
celebrate 表示“庆祝”时,宾语是事,celebrate sth. 其名词celebration 常构成词组have/hold a celebration(举行庆祝会),
in celebration of(为了庆祝)。
congratulate “向某人表示祝贺,向某人道贺”,其宾语是受到祝贺的人,可构成短语congratulate sb on sth/doing…
名词congratulation 可构成短语
congratulations to sb on sth/doing…
2. Discuss when they take place.
take place “发生,举行”。常指经过安排的事情。
happen “发生,碰巧”,强调偶然性。
occur “发生”, 同happen, 但比happen 更正式。
break out “爆发,突然发生”。指战争,灾害,疾病等。
以上为不及物动词,不用于被动语态。
