Step 3 Grammar
情态动词本身有一定的词义, 但不能单独作谓语, 需要和其他动词（原形）一起构成谓语, 为谓语动词增添情态色彩, 表示说话人对有关行为或事物的态度和看法, 认为其可能、应该或必要等。我们学习过的 can 和 may 都属于这类词。
may/might可以用来表示推测，意为“可能”。它们的否定形式分别是may not和might not。
e.g. I think Mary may be in the library.
That man may not be Jack’s uncle.
How long might the travel take?
Betty might not go to work next week.
注: may和might在表示将来的可能情况时, might比may表示的可能性要小一些。
英语中表示可能的方式有很多, 除使用情态动词may/might以外, 还可以通过will以及表示“可能”的形容词和副词表达, 常用的有：
It is possible to do sth. ...
It is possible that …
主语＋will probably/ probably ＋v.等
e.g. It is possible that it’ll be snowy in the night.
晚上有可能会下雪。
It’ll probably be cold and wet.

他们的日子过得很糟糕。
My English is terrible.

probably adv. 大概; 或许; 很可能
英语中表示可能的方式有：
通过will以及表示“可能”的形容词和副词表达, 常用的有：

It is possible that …, 主语＋will probably＋v.等
如：
Is it possible to visit Alaska in December?
十二月去阿拉斯加游览有可能吗？It is possible that it’ll be snowy in the night.

天气很可能会又湿又冷。

may和might表示允许或请求时，意为“可以”。其中，might表示的语气较委婉（不表示过去）。如：情态动词may和mightMay I come tomorrow?
Might I have a cup of coffee?
I asked her if I might call and see her.
You may leave at any time.
You may use the room if you keep it clean.二、表示推测

I think David may be at school.
That woman may not be Mark’s mother.
How long might the travel take?
Susan might not return tomorrow.注意：
may和might表推测时，may比might 表示的可能性要大一些；而might使说话的语气更加委婉，表示实现的可能性比较小。【运用】根据括号内所给提示将下列汉语
句子翻译成英语。

Language in useLanguage practice1. It might snow.
2. It’s probably sunny and hot there.
3. Bring a map because you may want to travel around.情态动词本身有一定的词义, 但不能单独作谓语, 需要和其他动词（原形）一起构成谓语, 为谓语动词增添情态色彩, 表示说话人对有关行为或事物的态度和看法, 认为其可能、应该或必要等。我们学习过的can和 may都属于这类词。may/might可以用来表示推测，意为“可能”。它们的否定形式分别是may not和might not。
e.g. I think Mary may be in the library.
That man may not be Jack’s uncle.
How long might the travel take?
Betty might not go to work next week.
注: may和might在表示将来的可能情况
时, might比may表示的可能性要小一
些。英语中表示可能的方式有很多, 除使用情态动词may/might以外, 还可以通过will以及表示“可能”的形容词和副词表达, 常用的有：
It is possible to do sth. ...
It is possible that …
主语＋will probably＋v.等 e.g. It is possible that it’ll be snowy in the
