空、完形填空及写作中的高频考点。表许可表示“允许”或“请求允许”,语气强弱不同;表理论
可能性表示“可能发生",不指具体某次,而是客观上的可能性,语气由强到弱依次为:can>

(三)核心含义区分(易混点)
1.can与may表许可的区别
can:日常口语中最常用,直接但非正式。
may:更正式、礼貌,常用于书面或对长辈、上级的请求。
在否定回答中,cant语气强硬(不允许),may not语气稍弱(可能不允许但更客
气)。
2.can与may表理论可能性的区别
can:强调“客观规律或普逼情况”,不针对具体事件。
O例句:Smoking can cause cancer.(吸烟可能导致癌症。
一一普逼事实)
may:强调“具体事件的可能性”,通常有具体语境。
O例句:Smoking may cause cancer for this patient.(吸烟可能对这个病人
致癌。一一具体推测)
3.could与m ight表推测时的语气强弱
could比might可能性略高,常与"有可能”对应;might则更不确定。
在疑问句中推测通常用could,不用may或might。
Q例句:Could he be lying?(他可能在撒谎吗?)
Q例句:May he be lying?(x,通常不这样用)
4.否定形式的差异
cant:表示“不可能”(逻辑上否定)
②例句:He can't be serious.(他不可能当真。)
may not/might not:表示“可能不”(可能性较低)
g例句:He may not come today..(他今天可能不来.)
9例句:He might not have received the message.(他可能没收到消息。)
(四)高考高频考点总结
1.许可句中情态动词的选择:根据语境判断语气的正式程度。
考查:Could I..?比Canl..?更礼貌,但回答通常用can或may。
②例句:-Could I borrow your car?
一Yes,you can.(回答不用could)
2.理论可能性与具体推测的区分:情态动词+be doing/have done结构。
may/might+be doing:推测正在发生。
g例句:She may be waiting for us at the gate.
may/might+have done:推测过去发生。
例句:He might have missed the train.
3.否定推测的区分:cant(不可能)vs.may not/might not(何能不)。
例句:That can't be true,(那绝不可能是真的。)
例句:That may not be true.(那可能不是真的。)
4.固定句型:
may as well/might as well:倒不如..,(表示建议)
例句:We may as well wait a bit longer.(我们不妨再等一会儿.)
It might be that..:可能.…
例句:It might be that he lost his way.

语法精讲精练二
(一)基本定义
情态动词表推测是高考英语高频考点,用于说话人对当前或过去发生的情况进行判断,表
达肯定推测、否定推测或可能性推测。常用情态动词包括:
must:一定(肯定推测)
cant/couldn't:不可能(否定推测)
may/might:可能(可能性推测,might语气更弱)
注意:mustn't不用于表推测,它表示“禁止"。

(三)核心含义区分
1.肯定推测:仅用must
对现在:The lights are on.He must be in the room.
对过去:The ground is wet.It must have rained last night:
2.否定推测:用can't或couldn't(注意:不能用mustn't)
对现在:She can'tbe40;she looks so young.
对过去:He can't have left because his car is still here.
3.可能性推测:用may或might(might语气更不确定)
对现在:He may/might know the answer..(可能知道)
对过去:She may/might have missed the bus.(可能错过了)
★易错点
must表示推测时,否定形式必须用can't或couldn't,而非mustn't。
may not表示“可能不”,而can't表示“不可能”,程度不同。
could在肯定句中也可表推测(可能性低于may),但本讲重点为must/can't/
couldn't/may/might,故could略讲。
(四)高中高频考点总结(附例句)
1.must/can't对现在推测的语境判断
例句:Look at the smile on his face.He must be satisfied with the result
例句:He can't be in the library;it's closed now.
2.情态动词+have done对过去推测的准确使用
例句:She must have studied hard last night;she looks tired,
例句:They can't have finished the report yet;they started only an hour
ago
3.may/might与must/can't的语气区分
例句:He might have forgotten the meeting.(可能性较低)
例句:He must have remembered the meeting;he wrote it down.(高度
肯定)
4.否定推测中can't与couldn't的互换
例句:It couldn't be John at the door;he is abroad now.(=can'tbe)
5.假设语气干扰项(如could have done表“本可以做但未做”,与推测不同)
例句:You could have helped him,but you didn't.(非推测,表虚拟)
