探究二、读一读Grammar Focus中的句子,自学情态动词的用法。
情态动词有具体的词义,但也同助动词一样,需要与其他词语一起构成句子的谓语,另外情态动词没有人称和数的变化,情态动词后必须跟动词原形。
考点一:can,may,must?等情态动词在陈述句中的用法:
1. can?的用法:
(1)表示能力、许可、可能性。?表示能力时一般译为“能、会”,?即有种能力, 尤其是生来具备的能力,此时may?和must均不可代替它。
如:She can swim fast, but I can’t.??她能游得很快,但我不能。
I can see with my eyes.?我用眼睛看。
(2)表示许可,常在口语中。
如:You can use my dictionary.???你可以用我的字典。
(3) 表示推测,意为“可能”,?常用于否定句和疑问句中,?此时can’t?译为“?不可能”。?
如:Can the news be true??这个消息会是真的吗?
—Can it be our teacher?那个人有可能是我们老师吗?
—No, it can’t be our teacher. He is on a visit to the Great Wall.
不可能。咱们老师正在游览长城呢。
2. could的用法:
(1)can的过去式,意为“?能、?会”,表示过去的能力。
如:He could write poems when he was 10.?? 他十岁时就会写诗。
(2)could在疑问句中,表示委婉的语气,此时?could?没有过去式的意思。
如: Could you do me a favor??你能帮我个忙吗?
—Could I use your pen??我能用一下你的钢笔吗??
—Yes, you can.可以。(注意回答)
3. may的用法:
(1)表示请求、许可,比can?正式.
如:May I borrow your bike??我可以借你的自行车吗?
You may go home now.?现在你可以回家了。
(2) 表示推测,谈论可能性,意为“?可能,?或许”,一般用于肯定句中。?
如:It may rain tomorrow.?明天可能会下雨。
She may be at home.?她可能在家呢.
?(3) may的过去式为might?,表示推测时。可能性低于may。?
如:He is away from school. He might be sick.他离开学校了,可能是他生病了。
?(4) 表示希望、祈求、祝愿,常可译为“祝愿”。通常是用may +主+V?
如:May you have a good time??祝你过得愉快。
May you be happy!?祝你幸福!?
May you succeed!祝你成功!
4. must的用法:
(1) must?表示主观看法,意为“必须、一定”。?
如:You must stay here until I come back.在我回来之前你必须呆在这儿。
Must I hand in my homework right now??我必须现在交作业吗?
(2)?其否定形式mustn’t表示“?一定不要?” “千万别” “禁止,?不许”.?
如:You mustn’t play with fire.??你不许玩火。
You mustn’t be late.?你一定不要迟到。
(3)对must引导的疑问句,肯定回答为must,否定回答为needn’t??或?don’t have to . 如:—Must I finish my homework? 我现在必须完成作业吗?
—No, you needn’t.不,你不必。
?(4) must表示有把握的推测,用于肯定句。
如: The light is on, so he must be at home now.灯亮着,他现在肯定在家。
5. need的用法:
(1)need?表示需要、必须,主要用于否定句和疑问句中,其否定形式为needn’t,意为“没有必要,不必”。?用need?提问时,肯定回答为?must,否定回答为?needn’t或don’t have to。?
如:—Need I stay here any longer???我还有必要留在这儿吗?
—Yes, you must .是的。
—No. you needn’t /don’t have to.?不,?你不必。
(2) need?还可以作实义动词,此时有人称、数和时态的变化,如果是人作主语后边多接动词不定式。
如:I need to do it right now.?我需要马上做这件事。
He needs to learn more about the girl.他需要多了解那个女孩。
如果是物作主语,一般用need doing?与?need to be done这种情况下应注意两点:
主动形式的动名词doing具有被动的含义;
该动名词可以改为其动词不定式的被动形式而句子的意义不变。
例如:The door needs painting. = The door needs to be painted.?
那扇门需要油漆一下。
Your car needs mending. = Your car needs to be repaired.
你的车需要维修了。
考点二:?情态动词表示推测的用法:
一、“情态动词+动词原形”表示对现在的推测。
1、can表示推测时一般用于否定句或疑问句。
如:That man can't be her husband she is still single.
Who is knocking at the door? Can it be the postman?
2、must表示肯定的推测,一般用于肯定句中。
如:He must be in his office now. Mr. Li must be working now, for the lights in his office are still on.
3、might?表示推测时不一定是may的过去时,只是表示其可能性较小。
如:The man may be the headmaster.
—Where is Mr. Li??—He might be working in his office.??
—May Mr. Li come??—He might not come here.
4、Could表示推测时,语气can比要弱,说话者留有余地。
如:—Could it be an animal?—It could not be, because it is not moving.
5、Should表示推测的可能性比较大,仅比must的可能性?小一点。
如:It is already 10 o’clock now they should be there.
考点三:情态动词表推测的三种时态

示例
一般现在时
.对一般情况的推测
The notebook may belong to Jim, it’s on his desk.
现在进行时
