情态动词的被动语态
1. 情态动词的基本概念。
情态动词表示说话者的语气和情态, 无人称和数的变化;
本身虽有一定的意义, 但不能独立作谓语, 后接动词原形, 一起构成谓语。
常用来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; 或用来表示推测或判断。
情态动词的被动语态
2. 情态动词表示推测的几个关键点。
(1)表示肯定推测时, must语气最强, 暗含很大的可能性, 意为“一定”。may, could, might语气依次减弱, 意为“可能; 也许”。
(2)表示否定推测时, 应用can’t, 意为“不可能”。
(3)表示对目前事情的推测, 常用“情态动词+动词原形”结构。
(4)表示对正在发生的事情的推测, 用“情态动词+be +动词-ing”结构。
记忆口诀
must句中表推测, 表示某事必定会;
may和might来推测, 语气不如must;
否定推测“不可能”, 只有can’t才能行。
