No one could finish the test last week.(ability)
The teacher said that we could not leave early.(permission)
The hunters are lost. They could starve.(possibility)
Could you please show me the way to Beihai Park (request)
注意：表示一般能力时，can 可与be able to 互换，但表示过去的能力+特定行为时，用was/were able to ,be able to 可用于各种时态，而can 只能用于现在时。
Eg.His mother wasn’t at home, so he was able to watch TV
2) may and might
May we see the awards for teams (permission,request)
She might give yousome new clothing.(possibility)
注意：1.表示许可时，用于第一人称，指我（们）被允许做某事；由于其他人称，则指说话者允许主语做某事。
Eg.We might go shopping until dark.(我们被允许)
Mother said:”You might go shopping until dark.” （说话者允许主语做某事）
2.在用于请求许可时，may可与can/could 互换
3）will and would
The Spring Festival is the most fun. The whole family will come for dinner.(promise;agreement)
Often he would dress up like a rich man.(past habit; custom)
Would you like to join us for dinner (request)
注意：would 与 used to 均可表示“过去惯常”，但是would 常与过去时间状语连用，意为总是，总要；used to 与现在时间相比，意为过去常常，暗示现在已经没有了。
Eg.When he was there, he would go to that coffee shop at the corner after work every day
He used to go to that coffee shop at the corner after work every day,but now he goes to play basketball.
4)shall and should
The harvest festival begins on Saturday.We shall be there with our friends.(promise, agreement)

Should not have done 表示过去不用做而却做了
5）must and can’t
Wang Feng wins an award every year. He must be very strong.(speculation)
You must be joking. That can’t be true. (guessing)
对现在的事情进行把握较大的判断时，肯定判断用must+动词原形，否定判断用can’t+动词原形。
She must be in the library.
She can’t be in the room.
2.modal verbs+ have done
一、情态动词+动词完成式
情态动词+动词完成式即“情态动词+ have + done分词”，表示对过去行为或动作进行推测、评论或判断。
1. must have done表示对过去某事的肯定猜测。其否定或疑问形式都用can(could) 来表示.
Since the road is wet, it must have rained last night.
He can’t have missed the way. I drew him a map.
“The dictionary has disappeared. Who could have taken it ”
当然对现在发生或将来发生的事情,要用must do 表示猜测, 否定为can’t do.
He must understand that we mean business.
You must be hungry after a long walk.
2.may / might have done
may / might have done 表示推测过去某事“也许”发生了.may 比 might 表示的可能性在说话人看来稍大些。例如：
I can’t find my keys. I may / might have left them at the school yesterday.
3. could have done 在肯定句型中, 往往用作委婉的批评. 本应该做什么,而没做; 有时也用作猜测.
You could have told us earlier.
Tom could have taken the dictionary.
4. ought to / should have done和 ought not to / shouldn’t have done
ought to / should have done 和 ought not to / shouldn’t have done 用于对已发生的情况表示“责备”、“不满”，分别表示“本应该…”和“本不应该…”。例如：
1）With all the work finished, I should have gone to the party last night.
2）You ought not to have made fun of him. He is not the one you laugh at but learn from.
5. needn’t have done
needn’t have done 表示过去做了某事，但没有做的必要， 意为“本没必要…”。
You needn’t have waken me up; I don’t have to go to work today.
注：表示推测过去某动作发生的可能性时，就表示的可能性程度而言，must最大，could其次，may更次之，might最小。例如：
“I wonder how Tom knew about your past.”
“He must / could / may / might have heard of it from Mary.”
二、情态动词+动词进行式
情态动词+行为动词进行式（即情态动词+ be + doing形式），表示推测或评论某动作现在是否正在进行。例如：
1）He must be playing basketball in the room.
2）She may be staying at home.
三、情态动词+动词完成进行式
情态动词+行为动词完成进行式（即情态动词+ have been + v-ing 形式），表示推测或评论过去某动作是否正在进行或一直在进行。例如：
1）They should have been meeting to discuss the problem.
2）He may / might have been buying stamps in the post office when you saw him.
四、某些情态动词的特殊用法
1. need
考试中主要测试 need 作情态动词与作实义动词的区别.
情态动词need与实义动词need 在时态、肯定、否定结构上的对比见下表。
时态 情态动词need 实义动词 need

Need he do…. He needs (doesn’t need) to do
过去时 He needed (didn’t need) to do
将来时 He need (needn’t) do
Need he do…. He will (not) need to do
注: need 一般用于否定句或疑问句.
2. dare
考试中主要测试dare作情态动词和作实义动词的区别。
情态动词dare 与实义动词dare 在时态、肯定、否定、疑问结构上的对比见下表。
句型 情态动词dare 实义动词 dare
肯定句 现在时 dare to 少用
过去时 dare to 少用 现在时 dare/dares to do
过去时 dared to do

过去时 did not dare (to) do
疑问句 现在时 Dare he do

过去时 Did he dare (to) do
3. can 和 may
考试中主要测试can，may或could，might表示可能性的区别及对may构成的疑问句的回答。
（1）can, could, may, might都可以表示可能性.can, could表示潜在的可能性或理论上或逻辑判断上存在的可能性；而may, might则表示事实上的可能性。此外，can还具有“有能力”的意思，而may与might则不具此意。例如：
According to the weather forecast, it may rain tomorrow.
Any man with a little sense can see that he is wrong.
（2）May I / we …？这一类疑问句的肯定回答为Yes, please.或Certainly；否定回答为Please don’t.或No, you mustn’t. 例如：
“May we leave now ” “No, you mustn’t. You haven’t finished your home work yet.”
4. can 和 be able to
can 与 be able to 都可以表示能力，但两者在用法上有点差异：can (could)表示主观能力，不表示意愿，它的将来时用will be able to; be able to表示主观意愿，强调要克服困难去做某事。例如：
1）My grandma is over seventy, but she can still read without glasses.
2）He is able to give up his bad habits.
5. must 和 have to
must 和 have to 都可以表示“必须”，但有几点区别：
（1）must 强调“内在的职责”、“义务”，而have to 强调“外界压力”、“不得已而为之”。
（2）have to可用于多种时态，而must一般用于现在时，其过去时与将来时分别由had to与shall / will have to代替。
（3）在回答must引起的问题时，如果是否定的答复，不能用mustn’t，而要用needn’t或don’t have to，因为mustn’t是“一定不要”、“一定不能”的意思。例如：
1）You must come to the classroom before eight.
2）It is raining hard outside, but I have to leave now.
3）“Must we do it now ” “No, you needn’t.”
6. used to +do, be used to +doing和be used to +do
（1）used to +v意为“过去常常”，“过去一直”；be used to +v-ing / n（名词）意为“习惯于”；be used to +v意为“被用来（做某事）”。
（2）used to只表示过去，而be used to +v-ing / n可表示现在、过去或将来。例如：
1）He used to smoke. Now he doesn’t.
2）He’s quite used to hard work / working hard.
3）The knife is used to cut bread.
7．用作情态动词的其他短语
would rather, would sooner, would (just) as soon, had rather, had better, had sooner, can not but, may (just) as well等可用作情态动词。例如：
1）The soldier would sooner die than surrender.
2）The brave soldier would as soon die as yield to such an enemy.
3）I’d rather walk than take a bus.
4）If you don’t like to swim, you may just as well stay at home.
注：这些短语后一般直接跟动词原形.would (had) rather, would (had) sooner, would (just) as soon后可跟that 引导的从句，that 常省去，从句要用虚拟语气。对现在和将来的假设用过去时，对过去的假设用过去完成时。例如：
1）I would rather you came on Sunday.
2）I would sooner you hadn’t asked
