1、英语语法专题 - 情态动词一、考点聚焦1、 情态动词的基本用法(1)can、be able to 和couldcan和be able to都表示能力,意思上没多大区别。但can只有现在和过去时,而be able to则有更多的形式。但当成功地完成某一具体动作时,通常不用could而用was/were able to来表示。这时was/were able to 相当于managed to,表示经过一番努力,终于能够完成某事。如:Can you use chopsticks?The wounded man still was able to get to the village and was s
2、aved in the end.can和couldcan和could都可以表示能力、技能、许可、建议或请求和可能性。但比较委婉客气地提出问题或陈述看法,一般用could,回答时则用can。如:Could you help me carry the bag?Can I help you?(2)may/mightmay/might表示可能,但may比might可能性大。如:-Why isnt he in class? He may be sick.(生病的可能性较大) He might be sick.(生病的可能性较小)may/might表示“允许”,may用于现在时或将来时,might常用在间
3、接引语中表过去时,但might也可用于现在时间,表示比较委婉的语气,回答用may。如:He says we may leave.He said we might leave.may / might 表示建议或请求,但might比may更客气,意思更肯定而无过去时态的含义。 Yes, you can / may.May / Might I use your bike? No, you mustnt(3)mustmust表示必须,应该,没有时态变化。如:You must do everything as I do.must表示肯定的推测。如:The light is still on, so he

5、uld和ought to表示应当、应该,前者比后者语气轻。如:You should / ought to work hard.should / ought to work hard.Since she is not here, whe should / ought to be in the classroom.should / ought to的否定形式表示禁止之意。如:Children shouldnt smoke.should可表示陈述意见,推出建议或请求;而ought to可以表示劝告之意。如:You ought to respect your parents.He suggested
6、that they should leave at once.(6)will / wouldwill 用于各种人称表示“意志”、“意愿”或“决心”等,否定式wont + 动词。如:I will tell you all about it.Tom wont do such a thing.will用于疑问句中,常用在第二称时表示说话人向对方提出“请求”或“询问”如:Will you please tell her the news when you see her?will 表示习惯性的动作,有“总是”、“惯于”的含义。如:Fish will die out of water.would 表示客

Yes, I must./No, I neednt (8)daredare
8、表示“敢”的意思。作为情态动词时,主要用在疑问句和否定句中。dare若作实义动词,后面可带to的不定式,此时to也可以省略。dare与need的用法相似。如:How dare you say that?She doesnt date(to)ask her father.(9)used toused to表示过去常常发生的动作或存在的习惯,但现在已不复存在了。如:He used to smoke.(10)shallshall作为情态动词用于第二、三人称,表示说话人的意愿,有“命令”、“警告、威胁、强制”和“允许”等意思。如:We shall do as our teacher says.You
