【专题】情态动词could表过去的能力
Unit 1 Jenny's Winter Space Camp
考频分析
教科版(五四制)7下中,情态动词could表过去的能力是基础语法点,考频占情态动词考点的15%
左右,主要分布在核心题型:单项选择(1-2题)、完形填空(1-2题)、阅读理解(词义猜测题中涉
及)。在语境理解类题目中,could表示过去具备的能力这一用法是区分与can的核心解题依据。
知识点一:情态动词could的用法
1.表过去的能力(过去能够做某事,现在可能不再具备该能力)
1.基本结构
·肯定句:主语+could+动词原形
·否定句:主语+couldn't/could not+动词原形
●疑问句:Could+主语+动词原形?
2.例句
·She could swim when she was five years old.(她五岁时会游泳。)
·They couldn't speak English fluently last year.(他们去年不能流利地说英语。)
●Could you ride a bike at the age of six?(你六岁时会骑自行车吗?)
2.表委婉请求(用于过去的语境中,比can更客气礼貌,回答用could/couldn't
或can/can't)
1.基本结构
。Could+主语+动词原形+其他?
2.例句
·Could you help me carry the box yesterday?(昨天你能帮我搬箱子吗?)
。一Could he borrow your pen this morning?(今天早上他能借你的钢笔吗?)
一Yes,he could./No,he couldn't.(是的,他可以。/不,他不可以。)

3.表推测(对过去情况的可能性推测,意为“可能”,常用于肯定句和否定句)
1.基本结构
●肯定推测:主语+could+have+动词过去分词(表示“过去可能做了某事”)
。否定推测:主语+couldn't+have+动词过去分词(表示“过去不可能做了某事”)
2.例句
·He could have finished the work on time,but he was ill..(他本来可能按时完成工作的,但他生病
了。)
·She couldn't have gone to Beijing,because I saw her in the library just now.(她不可能去北京了,因
为我刚才在图书馆看见她了。)
知识点二:情态动词could表过去的能力
1.基本用法(核心含义)
表示过去具备某种能力,意为“(过去)能:会”,强调过去有能力做某事但未必实际做了。
→例句:She could swim when she was five years old.(她五岁时就会游泳了。)
→例句:My grandfather could speak three languages in his youth.(我祖父年轻时会说三种语言。)
2.句式转换(基础语法)
1.肯定句:主语+could+动词原形+其他
→例句:I could ride a bike at the age of six.
2.否定句:主语+couldn’t/could not+动词原形+其他
→例句:He couldn't play the piano last year.
3.一般疑问句:Could+主语+动词原形+其他?
-→例句:Could you cook when you lived alone?
4.特殊疑问句:疑问词+could+主语+动词原形+其他?
→例句:What could they do when they were in the countryside?
3.易混点辨析(中考易错)
1.与can的区别:can表现在的能力,could表过去的能力
→现在:She can dance well now.(她现在跳舞很好。)
一过去:She could dance well when she was young.(她年轻时跳舞很好。)

2.与be able to的区别:could强调过去具备能力,be able to更强调通过努力成功做到某事(过去时态
用was/were able to)
→能力:He could speak English at that time.(他那时会说英语。)
→结果:He was able to finish the work on time yesterday.(他昨天成功按时完成了工作。)
3.注意:could表过去能力时,没有人称和数的变化,所有人称后均用could
→错误:She coulds swim fast..
→正确:She could swim fast.
解题小妙招
could用法妙招
过去能力看时间,was/were/ago是关键;
现在能力用can,过去能力could换:
委婉请求could用,动词原形跟后面:
过去请求问could,否定回答couldn't:
could后接动词原,时态一致记心间;
can表现在could过,语境转换别弄错。
考法精析
考法一:could表过去能力的判断与运用
核心:根据时间标志词或上下文语境,判断是否表示过去具备的能力,正确使用cod及否定形式
couldn't
真题1(语法填空):
Tom(can)ride a bike when he was seven years old,but now he_(can)ride very well.
答案:could;can
解析:由时间标志词“when he was seven years old”可知,第一空表示过去的能力,用could;第二
空由“now”可知表示现在的能力,用can。
真题2(单项选择):
Sheswim fast two years ago,but now she can't.
A.can B.could C.may D.must
答案:B
解析:由时间标志词“two years ago”可知,动作发生在过去,表达过去的能力用could,故选B。
考法二:could与can的用法对比及情景应用
核心:区分could和can在表示能力时的时间差异,以及could在过去委婉请求场景中的运用

一Soy,I,I was busy.
A.Can;can't B.Could;couldn't C.Can;couldn't D.Could;can't

核心:结合过去能力、委婉请求及推测用法,根据时间标志词和语境准确使用coud的不同功能及
句式转换
真题1(单项选择):
-you answer the phone for me yesterday?I was busy cooking.
-Sorry,I.I was taking a shower then
A.Can;can't B.Could;couldn't C.Could;can't D.Can;couldn't
答案:B

知是过去无法提供帮助,用couldn't回应。
真题2(语法填空):

空'last week'”表对过去事情的可能性推测,用could have done结构。
