Unit6单元同步语法情态动词讲解与练习
概念
*情态动词表示说话人对所做动作的观点和态度,如:需要,可能,意愿,怀疑等
*情态动词一般没有人称和数的变化,但是个别有时态的变化,如can-could
*情态动词不能单独作谓语,必须后接动词原形共同作谓语
*常见的情态动词有:can, could, may, might, must, have to, should, would
否定一般在加not:
can-can’t, could-couldn’t, may-may not, might-might not, must-mustn’t,
have to-don’t have to, should-shouldn’t, would-wouldn’t
1.can的用法
1)表能力
We can do our homework by ourselves.
He can swim well.
I can play football but I can’ t play the piano.
2)表许可
You can watch TV after supper.
You can’ t play basketball in the street.
3)表请求
Can you help me with my math?
Could you lend your book to me?
注意:could是can的过去式,但是这里并不表示过去时,而是表示委婉语气。
拓展:can 和be able to的区别
(1)情态动词can只有两种时态形式,现在式can和过去式could,而be able to有多种时态形式。
在一般过去时中都表示能够时,两者可以互换。
Mary can/is able to play the piano. (一般现在时)
She could/was able to play the piano when she was five. (一般过去时)她五岁时就会弹琴。
She has been able to play it since she was five. (现在完成时)
(2)用在过去时中,could经常表示能够做某事,事实上不一定去做,而was/were able to则表示“过去设法做成了某事”
