情态动词
情态动词表示说话人的某种感情或语气,有自己的词义,但不能单独作谓语,必须与其他动词共同构成谓语。情态动词没有人称和数的变化(单数第三人称不加-s),有过去式,但无过去分词。
常用的情态动词有can、may、must、ought to、will、shall、would、should、need、dare等。它们的不同形式分别表示请求、允诺、愿望、命令、能力、需要、拒绝等情感和态度。
Eg:[表示许可]You may come in now. 你现在可以进来。
[表示能够]The schoolbag can hold so many books. 这个书包能装下这么多的书。
[表示必须]You must be here on time. 你必须准时到这儿。
[表示禁止]You mustn't make a friend with such a man. 你绝不能与这样的人交朋友。
第一节 常见情态动词的用法
