情态动词must, can, could, may, might等都有表推测的用法
Step 2 根据推测语气的强弱,选择情态动词
①在肯定句中表推测:
must语气最强, 表示“肯定,一定”;could, may, might语气依次减弱,表示“可能, 也许”
(1) You must tell me all about your new friend.
(2) He could be at home.
He may be at home.
He might be at home.
②在否定句中表推测:
can’t, couldn’t语气较强,表示“不可能”;may/might not语气较弱,表示“可能不”;
(1) It can't snow in summer.
(2) We might not go anywhere.
※mustn’t表示“禁止”,不用于否定推测。
You mustn't tell a lie to parents.
③在疑问句中表推测:
疑问句中用can/could(能……?),could语气更加委婉不确定。
(1) Could he have finished the task?
(2) Can he be at home now?
情态动词表推测的三种时态
①“情态动词+be/be doing/动词原形”表达对现在情况或此时此刻正在发生的事情的推测。
(1) He can't be at home at this time.(= I don't think he is at home at this time.)
(2) They may not be having fun.(= I don't think they are having fun.)
(3) He must work very hard. (= I'm sure he generally works very hard.)
②“情态动词+have +V-ed”表达对过去情况的推测。
(1) They may/might have got lost.
(2) Emma must have been very upset.
(3) He can't have left so soon.
③“情态动词+动词原形”表达对将来情况的推测。
(1) She must arrive before 5.(= I'm sure she will arrive before 5.)
(2) She may walk miles and miles among the hills without meeting anyone.
(= It's probable that she walk miles and miles among the hills without meeting anyone. )
情态动词表推测时的反意疑问句、附加疑问句部分一般不再用情态动词表示推测语气。而是根据情态动词之后的动词及时间状语或上下文确定具体形式。
(1) That girl must be your sister, isn’t she?
(2) He must have left yesterday, didn’t he?
