情态动词
1. 情态动词本身有一定的词义,通常与动词原形一起构成谓语,表示说话人的看法或主观设想。常见的情态动词有:can、could、may、might、must、ought to、shall、should、will 和 would。另外,dare、need、have to 和 used to 也具有情态动词的某些特性。
2 can 与 could
表示能力(ability),意思相当于 be able to。如:Jack can swim.
My father could stand on his hands when
he was young.
注意:在一般过去时中,was / were able to 通常表示能做并且已经做了的事,could 仅表示能力。
如:I was able to swim to the bank when the ship sank.
I could lift the heavy box.
3 must 与 need
表示必要性(necessity)。must 意为“必须”,否定式 mustn’t 意为“不许”;need 意为“需要”,否定式 needn’t 意为“不必”。如:
I must go now.
You mustn’t forget your ticket.
Need we go right now?
You needn’t do it if you don’t want to.
注意:have to 也有“必须”的含义,但侧重客观需求,有时态的变化,否定式是 don’t / doesn’t have to,意为“不必”,意思相当于 needn’t。如:
We will have to think of a new plan.
You don’t have to run.
4 can、could、may 与 might
表示许可(permission)。表示许可时,may 多用于正式场合,could 和 might 的语气更委婉些。如:
You can use my pen if you like.
Students may not bring their pet
