情态动词本身有一定的含义,为谓语动词增添情态色彩,表示说话人对有关行为或事物的态度和看法,认为其可能、应该或必要等,一般无人称和数的变化,后面接的动词需用原形,否定式是在情态动词后面加 not。我们学过的can 和 may 都属于这类词。
情态动词
Language practice
当我们想表达可能发生某事以及某人可能做某事时,可以用 may/might 。
情态动词may/might表示“可能”
①might 与may 没有太大的区别,形式上might 是may 的过去式,但在表示将来的可能情况时,might 表示的可能性比may 表示的可能性还要小。它们的否定形式分别是may not和might not。。
Take your swimming clothes because you might/may want to go swimming in the sea .
带上游泳衣吧,说不定你想到海里游泳呢。
②may/might可以表示请求许可或者许可别人。
--Excuse me, sir. May I borrow your phone for just a second?
先生不好意思,请问我可以借用你的手机一下下吗?
--Yes, you may.
--No, you may not./I am sorry. /I am afraid not.
③may/might as well后跟不带to的不定式,意为“不妨”。
If that is the case, we may/might as well try.
如果情况这样的话,我们不妨试一试。
④英语中表示可能的方式有很多,除使用情态动词 may/might 以外,还可以通过 will 以及表示“可能”的形容词和副词表达,常用的有:
It is possible to do sth./ It is possible that...
主语+will probably/possibly +v.
Is it possible to visit Alaska in December?
12月份大阿拉斯加旅游有可能吗?
It is possible that it will snow in the night.
It will probably be cold and wet.
probably 表示“很可能”,所表示的可能性比possibly 要大。
夜里有可能会下雪。
天气很可能会又冷又湿。
