2、式 ) 的基本用法(1)表示能力，如： He can speak English better than you.(2)在疑問句和否定句中表示“懷疑 ”、“猜測 ”或“可能性 ”，如： Can this green bike be Liu Dongs?(3)表示 “許可 ”時 can 可以和 may 換用，如： You can (may) go home now.(4)如果要表示語氣婉轉(zhuǎn)，可用 could 代替 can，這時 could 不再是 can 的過去式，如：Could you come again tomorrow? (5)can 和 be able to 都可表示能力，兩者在意思上

3、沒有什么區(qū)別。但是 can 只能有現(xiàn)在式和過去式，而 be able to 則有更多的形式，如： He will be able to do the work better.2、may 和 might (might 為 may 的過去式 )的基本用法(1)表示允許或征詢對方許可， 有“可以 ”之意，如：You may use my dictionary. 在回答對方說 “可以做某事 ”或“不可以做某事 ”時，一般多不用 may 或 may not，以避免語氣生硬或不容氣。而用比較婉轉(zhuǎn)的說法進行回答。如：- May I use this dictionary? - Yes, please.或 -

4、 Certainly. 在請求對方許可時， 如果 MightI ?就比用 May I ?語氣更婉轉(zhuǎn)些，如： May I have a look at your new com puter? 但是表示 “阻止 ”或“禁止 ”對方做某事時， 要用 must not 代替 may not，如：- May we swim in this lake? - No, you mustn tIt. toos dangerous.(2)may 或 might 都可以表示可能性，表示“或許 ”、“可能 ”之意，如果用 might 表示可能性，則語氣更加不肯定，如： They may (might) be in t

5、he library now . 3、must 的基本用法(1)must 表示 “必須 ”、“應(yīng)該 ”之意，其否定式 must not，縮寫形式為 mustnt，表示 “不應(yīng)該 ”，“不準(zhǔn) ”、“不許可 ”或“禁止 ”之意，如： We must study hard and make progress every day. You mustnt touch the fire.(2)對以 must 提出的疑問句，如作否定回答時，要用 neednt或用 dont (doesnt) have to (不 必)來回答，而不用 mustnt，因為 mustnt 表示的是 “禁止 ”或 “不許可 ” 之意

6、，如：- Must we finish the work tomorrow? - No, you neednt (donthave to), but you must finishit in three days.(3)在肯定句中 must 可以表示推測，表示 “一定 ”或“必定 ”之意，如： - Whosenew bike can it be? - It must be Liu Dongs.

You couldhave answered it earlier, I am sure.(2)may, might 后接完成式的用法 表示對過去某事的推測，認(rèn)為某一件事情在過去可能發(fā)生了。如果使用 might，語氣就比較婉轉(zhuǎn)或更加不肯定

I had to give it up because of illness.6、ought to 的基本用法(l)表示根據(jù)某種義務(wù)或必要 “應(yīng)當(dāng) ”做某事，語氣比 should 強，例如： Everyone o ught to obey the traffic regulations.

(句中的 d rather 不是情態(tài)動詞， would 在此是表愿望的實義動詞 )。虛擬語氣的用法一、語氣的種類：英語句子中謂語動詞的語氣有四種：3直陳語氣（ The Indicative Mood ）直陳語氣用于直截了當(dāng)?shù)仃愂鍪聦?、描述狀態(tài)：He has published quite a number of essays this

22、 year .他今年已發(fā)表了好幾篇論文。祈使語氣（ The Imperative Mood）祈使語氣用于提出請求、命令、建議或是勸告等：Wait outside until you are asked . 請在外面等候，請你進再進去。Lets just take a break, shall we ? 我們休息一會兒，好嗎？ 3. 疑問語氣 ( the interrogative mood ) ：用來提出問題 Where are from ?虛擬語氣（ The Subjunctive Mood）虛擬語氣用于表示主觀愿望和假設(shè)的虛擬情況。虛擬語氣不太顧及事實的存在， 它表現(xiàn)出說話人的主觀因素比較

23、多。 所以說話人所講的內(nèi)容往往是與事實相反的； 或是其實現(xiàn)的可能性微乎其微， 甚至于沒有實現(xiàn)的可能性。當(dāng)然，有時為了使說話的語氣客氣、緩和、委婉，也使用虛擬語氣。I wish you were more careful .但愿你更細心一些。If I had more money, I would buy a bigger apartment.我要是有再多一點錢，我就買一套更大一些房子。Would you mind shutting the door ? 勞駕您把門關(guān)上。二、虛擬語氣的種類： 虛擬語氣用來表示說話人的主觀愿望或假想， 所說的是一個條件，不一定是事實，或與事實相反。虛擬語氣在條件句

24、中應(yīng)用比較多；條件句可分為兩類， 一類為真實條件句， 一類為非真實條件句。 非真實條件句表示的是假設(shè)的或?qū)嶋H可能性不大的情況，故采用虛擬語氣。三、真實性條件句1.真實條件句用于陳述語氣，假設(shè)的情況有可能發(fā)生,各種結(jié)構(gòu)如下：條件從句主句一般現(xiàn)在時shall/will+ 動詞原形祈使句情態(tài)動詞一般現(xiàn)在時If he comes, he willbring his violin. 如果他來，會帶小提琴來的?！镜湫屠}】 The volleyball match willbe put off if it_.A. will rainB. rainsC. rainedD. is rained【解析】 B 真

25、實條件句主句為將來時，從句用一般現(xiàn)在時?！军c撥】 1. 在真實條件句中，主句不能用be going to 表示將來，該用 shall, will.（錯） If you leave now, you are never going to regret it.（對） If you leave now, you willnever regret it.表示真理時，主句謂語動詞不用 shall （will ） +動詞原形，而直接用一般現(xiàn)在時的動詞形式四、非真實條件句虛擬語氣可以表示過去， 現(xiàn)在和將來的情況， 時態(tài)的基本特點是時態(tài)往后推移虛擬語氣表時間從句主句例句與現(xiàn)在事一般過去時Would / sho

28、enhard up .與將來不一般過去時 / Should / would /大可能發(fā)should/would could / might /生的事情+ 動詞原ought to +動詞原的假想形形If you succeeded, everything would be all right.If they invited me , I would certainly attend it .If he went , would you go too ?與將來事 were+ 不定實相反的 式假設(shè)Should / would / could / might / ought to +動詞原形If sh

29、e were to lose her place they would be ruined .2.If you were to speak to him , it would carry more weight .五、混合條件句 (也叫：錯綜時間條件句)有時，主句與從句的動作發(fā)生在不同的時間， 主句從句謂語動詞的虛擬語氣形式因時間不同而不同，這種條件句叫做混合條件句If you had asked him yesterday, you would know what to do now. 如果你昨天問過他，今天就知道做什么了。（從句與過去事實相反， 主句與現(xiàn)在事實相反。 ）1. If it h

30、ad rained last night（過去） , it would be very cold today （現(xiàn)在） .如果昨晚下過雨，今天就會很冷了。2.

35、uld be a mistake not to help him.She would have done anything to make amends . 她會做任何事來彌補特殊情況：情態(tài)動詞在日常用語中用得很多， 使句子顯得比較委婉； 這類謂語算不算虛擬語氣很難說，但有兩點是肯定的：一是它們不受時態(tài)的影響， 雖然形式接近過去式， 卻常指現(xiàn)在的情況， 而且和虛擬語氣在形式上一致，在不少情況下幾乎可以說是一種含蓄的虛擬條件句；二是它們不表示事實，常帶有主觀色彩，因而使句子顯得很委婉。I should think that might be a good solution .could I tr
