1.画线部分均为情态动词,表示说话者的__________________。
2.所有情态动词都要和实义动词________一起构成谓语。
常用的情态动词有can、could、be able to、may、might、must、have to、need、dare、
shall、should、ought to、will、would、used to等。情态动词(除have to、be able to外)通常无人称和数的变化,不能单独使用,需与其后的动词原形一起构成谓语动词。
一、can, could的用法
1. 表示能力,意为 “能、会”。
can、could都可以表示能力,意为“能,会”。
can 表示现在的能力;
could 表示过去的能力;
This hall can hold 500 people at least.
这个大厅至少能容纳500人。
At that time the little girl could not speak.

温馨提示
be able to多指具体的能力,表示“能够并确实做到”,相当于manage to,而且重点往往在于“成功地实现”。be able to有人称和数的变化,时态形式比can更多样,还可以用在may、might、should等情态动词和want、need等动词后。
By the time he graduated from college, he had been able to speak three foreign languages.
到大学毕业时,他已经能够说三种外语了。
2. can/could可以表推测。
can用于肯定句时,表示理论上的可能性,即从理论上去考虑其可能性,至于实际情况如何,则不予考虑,而且没有具体的时间意义。其否定式can't是语气最强的否定推测,翻译为“不可能,一定不”。can也可用于疑问句中表推测。could只表示可能性比can小,不表示时态。can比could语气强。
Exercising alone can be boring.
独自一个人锻炼可能会很无聊。

3. can 可表示客观可能性,意为“有时会”。

二、may, might的用法
1.表示请求或许可。
might比may语气更委婉。肯定回答用may/might;否定回答用must’t ,表示禁止,意为“不可以”。
—May/Might I watch TV after supper, Mum?
妈妈,晚饭后我可以看电视吗?
—Yes, you may/might./No, you mustn’t.
可以。/不行,不准看。
2. 表示推测
may和might表推测既可以用于肯定句中,也可以用于否定句中。用于肯定句中译为“可能”,否定式为may not/might not,译为“可能不”。might的可能性比may更小、更委婉一些。may和might后可接副词well加强语气,意为“很可能”。
The little problems that we meet in our daily lives may be inspirations for great inventions.
我们在日常生活中遇到的小问题可能就是伟大发明的灵感。
If I kept going I might not be able to see my way back.
如果我继续走下去,我可能看不到回去的路了。

三、must, have to的用法
1.must、have to表示义务,意为“必须”。在回答must引出的问句时,肯定回答用must,否定的回答一般不能用mustn’t (禁止,不准),而要用needn’t或don ’t have to (不必)。
—Must we hand in our exercise books today? 我们今天必须交练习本吗?
—Yes, you must./No, you needn’t/don’t have to.是的,你们必须交。/不,你们不需要。
2.must表推测时只用于肯定句,经常翻译成“一定”或“肯定”,所作出的推测几乎接近于事实,语气最肯定。
He has been working all day. He must be very tired.
他一整天一直在工作。他肯定非常累。
3. must表示“必须”时是说话人的主观 看法,而have to则强调客观 需要,意为
“不得不”。

[共性呈现]
1.画线部分均为情态动词,表示说话者的情感、态度和语气。
2.所有情态动词都要和实义动词原形一起构成谓语。
常用的情态动词有can、could、be able to、may、might、must、have to、need、dare、
shall、should、ought to、will、would、used to等。情态动词(除have to、be able to外)通常无人称和数的变化,不能单独使用,需与其后的动词原形一起构成谓语动词。
一、can, could的用法
1. 表示能力,意为 “能、会”。
can、could都可以表示能力,意为“能,会”。
can 表示现在的能力;
could 表示过去的能力;
This hall can hold 500 people at least.
这个大厅至少能容纳500人。
At that time the little girl could not speak.
那时这个小女孩还不会说话。
温馨提示
be able to多指具体的能力,表示“能够并确实做到”,相当于manage to,而且重点往往在于“成功地实现”。be able to有人称和数的变化,时态形式比can更多样,还可以用在may、might、should等情态动词和want、need等动词后。
By the time he graduated from college, he had been able to speak three foreign languages.
到大学毕业时,他已经能够说三种外语了。
2. can/could可以表推测。
can用于肯定句时,表示理论上的可能性,即从理论上去考虑其可能性,至于实际情况如何,则不予考虑,而且没有具体的时间意义。其否定式can't是语气最强的否定推测,翻译为“不可能,一定不”。can也可用于疑问句中表推测。could只表示可能性比can小,不表示时态。can比could语气强。
Exercising alone can be boring.
独自一个人锻炼可能会很无聊。
Vitamins cannot be manufactured by our bodies.
人体不能生成维生素。
What can he possibly mean?他会是什么意思呢?
3. can 可表示客观可能性,意为“有时会”。
Peter can be difficult at times even though he’s a nice person in general.
虽然总的来说,彼得是个好人,可他有时可能会不好相处。
4. can、could可表示请求和建议,回答时用can。could比can语气更委婉。
—Can/Could I use your computer for a moment?我可以用一会儿你的电脑吗?
—Yes, you can.可以。
5. can、could可表示惊异、怀疑、迷惑等态度,常用于否定句和疑问句。
—Can/Could this be true? 这可能是真的吗?
—This can’t/couldn’t be true./This could be true.这不可能是真的。/这可能是真的。
【经典练】

4.Not only ______ he play the piano, but he also plays the violin very well.
【答案】1. can 2. could 3. can ’t 4. can
二、may, might的用法
1.表示请求或许可。
might比may语气更委婉。肯定回答用may/might;否定回答用must’t ,表示禁止,意为“不可以”。
—May/Might I watch TV after supper, Mum?
妈妈,晚饭后我可以看电视吗?
—Yes, you may/might./No, you mustn’t.
可以。/不行,不准看。
2. 表示推测
may和might表推测既可以用于肯定句中,也可以用于否定句中。用于肯定句中译为“可能”,否定式为may not/might not,译为“可能不”。might的可能性比may更小、更委婉一些。may和might后可接副词well加强语气,意为“很可能”。
The little problems that we meet in our daily lives may be inspirations for great inventions.
我们在日常生活中遇到的小问题可能就是伟大发明的灵感。
If I kept going I might not be able to see my way back.
如果我继续走下去,我可能看不到回去的路了。

【答案】1.might 2. May 3. may/might
三、must, have to的用法
1.must、have to表示义务,意为“必须”。在回答must引出的问句时,肯定回答用must,否定的回答一般不能用mustn’t (禁止,不准),而要用needn’t或don ’t have to (不必)。
—Must we hand in our exercise books today? 我们今天必须交练习本吗?
—Yes, you must./No, you needn’t/don’t have to.是的,你们必须交。/不,你们不需要。
2.must表推测时只用于肯定句,经常翻译成“一定”或“肯定”,所作出的推测几乎接近于事实,语气最肯定。
He has been working all day. He must be very tired.
他一整天一直在工作。他肯定非常累。
3. must表示“必须”时是说话人的主观 看法,而have to则强调客观 需要,意为
“不得不”。
I had to work when I was your age. 我在你这个年纪时,必须工作。
Your mother must be waiting for you now. 你母亲现在肯定在等你。
4. must还可以表示“硬要,偏要,非要”。

2. should/ought to的用法
(1)should/ought to表示责任、义务、建议等,意为“应该”,ought to比should语气重。
(2)should/ought to表示推测,指合乎理想的情况,意为“按说应该”。注意与must区分。
He ought to/should be home by now. 他现在应该在家了。(不太肯定)
