情态动词may和might的用法
1.表示可能性,意为“也许;可能”
(1)may/might和can一样都是情态动词。情态动词没有人称和数的变化。其后接动词原形,否定式是在其后加上not。
e.g. ①It may be rainy this afternoon.今天下午也许会下雨。
②She might not want to come with us.她可能不想和我们一起来。
语法归纳
(2)在形式上might是may的过去式,在可能性上,might比may表示的可能性要小。
e.g. ①They may stay there for a long time.他们可能要在那里待很长一段时间。(可能性较大)
②Don't walk too close to the lake, or you might fall into the lake. 不要太靠近那片湖走,否则你可能会掉进湖里。(可能性较小)
2.表示允许或请求,意为“可以”
e.g. ①May I come in?我能进来吗?
②You may go now.你现在可以走了。
3.表示可能性的其他方法
(1)肯定推测,表示“一定是”用must be。
e.g. You have kept working for a long time. You must be very tired.你连续工作了很长时间。你一定很累。
(2)否定推测,表示“不可能是”用can't be。
e.g. The man over there can't be Mr Jackson. He has gone to London.
那边的那个人不可能是杰克逊先生。他已经去伦敦了。
(3)用possible(形容词), probably(副词) 等词来表示“可能”。
e.g. ①Is it possible to meet my favourite star there?在那里有可能遇到我最喜爱的明星吗?
②It will probably be rainy in May.五月份很可能会下雨。
