1、2013年高考英语一轮复习学案专题9: 情态动词与虚拟语气一、情态动词情态动词只有情态意义,即它所表示的是说话人对动作的观点,如需要、可能、意愿或怀疑等。 1. 情态动词没有实义动词的各种变化,只有could, would, had to, might等几个过去式。其它如must, ought to 等的过去式皆与现在式同形。2. 大多数情态动词有多个意义。如can可表“能够”“可能”“允许”等。3. 在用法上,情态动词与助动词一样,须后接动词原形,构成谓语动语。 4. 情态动词有can,could, may, might, will, would, shall, should, ought
2、to, must, need, dare, used to 共十三种形式,不同的情态动词所表示的意义并不是相互排斥的,同一个意义常常可以由几个不同的情态动词以相同或不同的程度表示出来。另一方面,同一个情态动词在同一个句子中可能表示不同的意义,在没有上下文的情况下,句子可能出现歧义。如:He cant come.他不能来。句中cant既可能表示说话人不允许,又可能表示主语无能力。情态动词在表示多种意义的同时,相互之间既有联系,又有区别,前十个情态动词的联系大体围绕着两个方面:一是行为的自由(包括能力、允许和义务),二是推测。它们之间的区别则体现在行为自由程度(degrees of freedom
3、 to act)的大小,和推测把握性的大小。在这两个方面,最小和最大的都是might和must,如:You might do it for me, please. 请你为我做这件事。(近似请求的命令)You must do it for me. 你必须为我做这件事。(不容违抗的命令)That might be Tom. 那或许是汤姆。(把握性最小)That must be Tom. 那肯定是汤姆。(抉择性最大)(1)Can / could的用法1 1 表能够。can 是现在式,多用于指现在或将来。如:He can speak English. 他能说英语。Can you speak Germa
4、n? 会说德语吗?Could是过去式,多用于指过去。如:I said that I could go.我说我能去。但could亦可用于指现在,表虚拟语气,或作为can的委婉形式。如:If I could go, I should be glad.假如我能去,那我就会很高兴。(表虚拟语气)Could I help you? 我能帮你干点什么?(比Can I help you?委婉)2表可能。如:The moon can not always be at the full. Can 表可能时可指现在或将来。如:What can he mean? 他可能是什么意思呢?(疑问句)。表可能时,could
5、可指过去。如:He said he couldnt agree more. Could与完成式连用,则指过去未实现的动作。如:It could have been seen from here if it had not been so dark. 如果天不那么黑,你可能从这儿望见它的。3表允许。如:You can borrow my bike tomorrow. 明天你可以借用我的自行车。Could指现在时,仅用于疑问句表更委婉的要求。如:Could I request an interview? 我可以要求面试吗?表允许和推测时,只是could语气较为委婉,含义较不确定。如:Can I u
6、se your pen? 我可以借用你的笔吗?(表允许);Could I use your pen? (较为委婉)。(2)have (to)与have got (to)的用法have可做实义动词和助动词,在做实义动词时,have表示拥有时,可与have got连用。例如:We have got a new car. have在表示动作和经历时,不能和got连用。例如:I have breakfast.Have作助动词时,与过去分词,现在分词构成完成时态和完成进行时态,此时亦不能和got连用。Have 还可做为使役动词。例如:I now have the problem solved.Have
7、to 是情态动词,是必须、不得不的意思,在肯定句中可与got连用。例如:Ive got to get to a business meeting.但在借助助动词do,构成疑问句和否定句中,就不能在不定式符号前got。Did you have to do it tomorrow?二、虚拟语气动词虚拟语气表示说话人的愿望、假设、猜测或建议,而不表示客观存在的事实。虚拟语气是通过句中谓语动词的特殊形式来表示的。因此,掌握虚拟语气所使用的各种谓语动词形式变化是掌握虚拟语气的关键。虚拟语气的基本形式共有七种:1) 1) 动词原形,用于一切人称和数。如:If that be so, we shall ta
8、ke action at once. 如果情况是那样,我们就立刻采取行动。May you succeed! 祝您成功!2) 2) 动词的过去式,用于一切人称和数,be的过去式用were,如:If I were in your shoes, Id accept the terms. 假若我处在你的地位,我就会接受这些条件。3) 3) had+过去分词,用于一切人称和数。如:If we had left earlier, we wouldnt have missed the train. 4) 4) 助动词should+动词原形,用于一切人称和数。如:They suggested that we
9、should meet at the station.他们建议我们在车站会面。5) 5) 助动词should + have+过去分词,用于一切人称和数。It is strange that she should have done it. 6) 6) 助动词should(第一人称)和would(第二、三人称)+ 动词原形。如:If I were you, I should take his advice.我如是你,就会听他的忠告。(美国英语常用would代替should)。7) 7) 助动词should(第一人称)和would(第二、三人称)+ have + 过去分词。如:If father
10、hadnt sent me, I shouldnt have come.三、虚拟语气在非真实条件从句中的用法:所指时间为现在时,从句用一般过去时(be用were),主句用should/would be 型;所指时间为过去时,从句用had been 型,主句用should/would have been 型;所指时间为将来时,从句用should be 或were型,主句用should/would be 型,例如:If he had time, he would/could/might go with you. (对现在情况的虚拟)如果他有时间,他就会/能和你去。If I had had the
11、money last year, I should/would/could/might have bought a house. (对过去情况的虚拟)如果我去年有了这笔钱,我就会/可能买一所房子了。If there should be/were/were to be something wrong, they would/could/might let you know at once. (对将来情况的虚拟)如果出了什么事,他们会/可能马上告诉你。如果条件从句中有were, had 或should,可以把if省略,把这几个词放到主语之前,构成主谓倒装,如:Were I you (=If I w
12、ere you),I would not do it.我要是你,我就不做这事。Were I to meet him tomorrow (=If I were to meet him tomorrow), I should ask him about it. 要是我明天见到他,我会问他这件事的。Had he been more careful(=If he had been more careful),such mistakes could have been avoided. 如果他细心一些,这种错误本来是可以避免的。四、在主语从句中的用法虚拟语气常用在以It is/was 开头的复合句的主语
13、从句中,表示命令、要求、建议等,谓语动词为should be型或be型虚拟形式,在美国英语中常用be型,如:It is necessary that he (should) be sent there at once. 有必要马上派他到那里去。常用于主句中的形容词和过去分词有:advisable, appropriate, best, better, compulsory, crucial, desirable, fitting, imperative, important, obligatory, preferable, proper, decided, ordered, recommend
14、ed, requested, required等。五、在宾语从句中的用法虚拟语气在宾语从句中的用法主要有三种情况:1 1 在某些动词后的宾语从句中,表示命令、要求、建议,形式为should be 型或be型,在美国英语中常用be型,如:He insisted that his daughter (should) come. 他坚持要他女儿来。He ordered that the letter (should) be mailed at once. 他吩咐马上把这封信寄出。常用于主句的谓语动词有:ask, decide, demand, desire, insist, move, order,
15、 prefer, propose, request, require, suggest, urge等。2 2 在以it为形式宾语的复合宾语的宾语从句中,表示要求、建议等。I think it advisable that be (should) have his car serviced. 我觉得他请人检修一下汽车是明智的。We consider it imperative that a meeting(should) be held immediately. 我们认为必须马上开个会。3 3 在动词wish后的宾语从句中:表示与现在或过去的事实相反、或对于将来的主观愿望,从句通常省略连词tha
16、t。1) 1) 表示对现在情况的虚拟:用were型虚拟形式,如:I wish I knew his address.2) 2) 表示对过去情况的虚拟:通常用had been 型虚拟形式,如:I wish/wished I hadnt spent so much money.3) 3) 表示对于将来的主观愿望:谓语形式为would+不带to的不定式。I wish it would stop raining.但愿雨能停下来。有不少情态动词也可用于虚拟语气。It might help a little if only you would keep clean.If my parents couldn
17、t accept him, I would elope with him.考点解析情态动词的解题技巧:(1) 认真审题,结合所给出的语境,正确把握说话者的语气、情感、态度、观点等。(2) 认真思考所给选项中情态动词的基本特征和用法,并结合语境推敲答案。(3) 要注意把握时间概念。情态动词无论是表达“推测和可能性”,还是表达“虚拟”这一概念,只要是对过去已经发生的事情进行描述,一律用“情态动词+have done”这一结构;对现在或将来的事情进行描述,用“情态动词+动词或系动词原形”。例如:Thank you for all your hard work last week. I dont th
18、ink we _ it without you. A. can manage B. could have managedC. could manage D. can have managed根据题干中所给出的时间last week可知我们已经做完了工作,已经完成,故排除A、C两项,再结合could have done表示虚拟语气以及与前面的I dont think,故说话者想表达的意思是:离开了你,我们本不可能完成这项工作。故答案为B项。情态动词用法归类与高考试题分析:(一)表示推测的情态动词对现在或将来情况推测,用情态动词+do / be / be doing;对过去的推测,用情态动词+ha
