情态动词推测用法一、用法
从高考及平时各类考试情态动词的推测用法来看,主要有must, should, can (could), may(might)几个词,现对它们的用法按可能性从大到小排列列表如下:
一般式:must/ should/ can/ could/ may/ might do sth.
进行式: must/ should/ can/ could/ may/ might be doing sth.
完成式: must/ should/ can/ could/ may/ might have done sth.
注:对现在和过去的状态进行推测则分别将do sth.和have done sth.改为“be +表语”和“have been +表语”形式。
二、关键点拨
1.表推测时,might不是may的过去式,could不是can的过去时,而是表示might/ could的可能性比may/ can还小,所以,上述情态动词的过去式并不表示对过去的情况进行推测。
2.should表示根据事物内在发展的规律、事情发展的必然性得出的结论,表示“某人(某事)按道理应该(理应)……”。
3.can/ could常用于否定句和疑问句中表示推测,但在表示“有时候可能”或“从理论上讲”时,也可用于肯定句中。
4.may/ might not用于否定句中表“可能不”,而不是“不可能”。三、实例助记
