我的领悟
1.be able to、had better、have to、dare和need后都接动词原形。
2. 情态动词dare 和need 常用于否定句和疑问句中, 如句2、句3、句4和句5。
一、be able to 和had better
1.be able to
be able to表“能够”,其后接动词原形,be有时态和人称变化,可与情态动词will, would, shall, should连用。
①He is ill. He hasnt been able to go to school for a week.他病了,已经有一周没上学了。
②Ill be able to help you tomorrow.我明天能帮助你。
微点 叙述过去经过一番努力才能完成的事情时,用was/were able to,不可以用could。表一般的能够做某事的能力,两者可互相替换。
Mary can/is able to type well.
玛丽打字打得很好。
He was able to swim well after practicing hard.
刻苦训练后他能游得很好了。
2.had better
had better 意为“最好”,缩写形式是d better。
had better 只有一种形式,不能单独作谓语,后面跟动词原形, had不能用has或have代替。
①He had better learn a second language.他最好学一门外语。
②Youd better not ask those confusing questions.你最好别问那些令人困惑的问题。
二、have to
have to/dont have to
have to表示客观上的必要性,意为“不得不”。它有多种时态变化形式,其疑问式和否定式通过添加助动词do/does/did构成。have to与have got to常可以互换。
①The washing machine is out of order, so I have to wash the clothes by hand.洗衣机坏了,因此,我不得不手洗衣物。
②He had to get up early last Sunday.上周日他不得不早起。
③Do you have to stay in that room for so long?你必须待在那个房间里那么久吗?
微点 must与have to表示“必须”时的区别:
(1)must 表示一种主观上的需要,而have to 表示一种客观上的需要,意思是“不得不”。
I have to attend an important meeting this afternoon.今天下午我不得不参加一个重要的会议。
You must do as you are told.你必须遵嘱行事。
(2)dont have to 表示没有义务或必要做某事,相当于neednt,常可以用来回答must开头的疑问句,与mustnt
的含义完全不同。前者意为“不必;不需要”,后者意为“不许;不应当;一定不要;绝不要”。
You dont have to worry about your lessons.你没必要为你的功课担心。
They dont have to buy a computer at present.他们目前没有必要买电脑。
You mustnt drive fast.你一定不要开快车。
