【语法精讲】
(一)情态动词表推测的三种句式
能用于表推测的情态动词: must, can, could, will, would, may, might, should, ought to
1. 在肯定句中一般用 must (一定) ,may (可能), might / could (也许,或许)。
He must/may/might know the answer to this question.
2.否定句中用 can’t / couldn’t(不可能), may not/might not(可能不)。否定语气较强时,用can't,意为“根本不可能”、“一定不能”,表示惊异、怀疑的感情色彩。
It can’t/couldn’t be the headmaster. He has gone to America.
3.疑问句中用 can/could (能……?)
Could he have finished the task?
Who can it be?
注:以上三种句式中情态动词的语气按程度都是依次递减的。might, could 并非 may, can 的过去式,而表示语气较为委婉或可能性较小。
