英语中，情态动词can / could, may / might, must / can, would / should 等都可以表示“推测”。具体用法如下：
1. can 和could
can 表示推测时，可能性比较大，常用于疑问句或否定句中，不用于肯定句中， 意为“不可能”。表示一种有把握的推测。表示否定时， can’t语气最强。 如：
It can’t be Mr Li. He has gone to Nanjing already.
They can’t know the answer. Let me explain it to them.
That can’t be her husband. She is still single.
could 表示推测时，可以用于否定句中，也可以用在后面跟动词原形的肯定句中。表示可能性不大的推测，意思相当于may / might。如：
Anything could happen if you do not obey the rule.
It could be true. But I still doubt it.
2. may和might
may / might 表示一种可能性很小的推测。多用在肯定句或否定句中，might 用在疑问句中表示“可能”，语气最弱。 如：
My English teacher may be correcting our exercises in her office.
My sister may not be in her room at this moment.
The scientists might be discussing the pollution problem.
3. must 和can
在表示推测的情态动词中，must 的把握性最大，意为“一定；肯定”。表示对一般情况的推测。 如：
You sister must be a doctor, isn’t she
The boys must be playing football on the playground, aren’t they
Li Ping must be punished by his father.
（以上几句要注意反意疑问句的构成）
can的推测用法：肯定句中，can 可以表示客观的（理论的）可能性，并不涉及具体某事是否会发生，此用法常常可以说明人或事物的特征。 如：
Accident can happen on such rainy days.
can’t do表示对现在发生的事情做否定的推测。can’t have done 表示对过去发生的事情做否定的推测。如：
He can’t be there now.
He can’t have slept through all that noise.
4. would 和should
英语中，情态动词would 并不一定与过去的时间有关，所表示的可能性比will弱。如：
A man of good sense would not laugh in such a case.
should 表示推测时，表示确定或可能有的未来或期望。如：
It’s nearly seven o’clock. Jack should be here at any moment.
─When can I come for the photos I need them tomorrow afternoon.
─They should be ready by 12:00.易混词语精练与点拨

1． On this important feast day, people might eat food in the shape of skulls, and cakes with “bones” on them. (Reading)
with “bones” on them是独立主格结构，作后置定语修饰cakes。构成形式是“with + 名词 + 介词短语”。如：
She said goodbye with tears in her eyes.
He was standing with his hands in his pocket.
【归纳·拓展】 with或without构成的独立主格结构：
1) with或without + 名词 / 代词 + 形容词；
2) with或without + 名词 / 代词 + 副词；
3) with或without + 名词 / 代词 + 介词短语；
4) with或without + 名词 / 代词 + 动词不定式；
5) with或without + 名词 / 代词 + 分词。
这样的独立主格结构在句中作状语或定语。如：
She came into the room, with her nose red because of cold. (with + 名词 + 形容词，作伴随状语)
With the meal over，we all went home. (with + 名词 + 副词，作时间状语)
There were rows of white houses with trees in front of them. (with + 名词 + 介词短语，作后置定语)
The master was walking up and down with the ruler under his arm. (with + 名词 + 介词短语，作伴随状语)
He could not finish it without me to help him. (without + 代词 + 动词不定式，作条件状语)
She fell asleep with the light burning. (with + 名词 + 现在分词，作伴随状语)
2. It was obvious that the manager of the coffee shop was waiting for Li Fang to leave—he wiped the tables， then sat down and turned on the TV—just what Li Fang needed!(Using Language)
1) 该句是一个It was obvious that...句式。It是形式主语； that从句是真正的主语。如：
It is obvious that everyone likes her lessons．
类似的句式还有：
It is clear that... 很清楚……
It is thought that... 有人认为……
It is possible that... 有可能……
It is said that... 据说……
It is reported that... 据报道……
2) 同学们要注意这个句子中两个破折号所起的作用：第一个用来为前面的叙述提供证据和说明；第二个用来对前面所述情况进行解释和补充说明。如：
Your performance in the driving test didn’t reach the required standard—in other words, you failed.
3. Finding that Zhinu was heart-broken，her mother finally decided to let the couple cross the Milky Way to meet once a year． (Using Language)
Finding that Zhinu was heart-broken是现在分词短语作时间状语，与句子的主语her mother是主动关系。如：
Hearing the news， they all jumped with joy. (= When they heard the news, they...)
Walking slowly across the grass， he pointed the gun at the lion and fired.
