助动词和情态动词
助动词和情态动词如下:
I. 要点。
助动词本身无意义,在句中帮助主要动词构成一定的时态,语态、语气,或是帮助构成否定句和疑问句,常用的助动词有be, do, have, shall(should), will(would).
情态动词表一定的词义,本身并不表示动作或状态,而仅仅表达说话人的态度,它在句中须和主要动词一起构成谓语,主要的情态动词有can(could), may (might), must, have to, ought to, need, dare, shall, should, will, would.
1、can 能,可以,表说话人同意,许可还可表客观条件许可,如:You can go now.
提建议或请求时可用can I, can you表客气,如Can I buy you a drink?
can和be able to表能力时的区别。
can表一般具有的能力,be able to表在特定条件下的能力,如:Although the driver was badly hurt, he was able to explain what had happened.
2、may。
(1)可以,表说话人同意,许可或请求对方许可。You may go.
(2)(现在和将来)可能,也许,只用于肯定句和否定句中,如He may not be right.
3、must, have to。
must表主观上的必须,have to表客观上的必须,如:It's getting late. I have to go. -Must I go now. -Yes, you must.(No, you needn't./ No, you don't have to.)
4、need, dare这二词有实意动词和情态动词两种词性,如用作实意动词后接动词不定式to do,如用作情态动词后接动词原形。Need I go now? --Yes, you must./No, you needn't.)
5、shall用于第一人称疑问句中表说话人征求对方的意见或向对方请求,如,Shall we begin our lesson?
