情态动词
定义:
情态动词是一种
本身有一定的词义,但要与动词原形一起使用,给谓语动词增添情态色彩,表示说话
人对有关行为或事物
的态度和看法,认为其可能、应该或必要等。
情态动词后面加动词原形。
分类:
情态动词有四类:
①只做情态动词:must,can(could),may(might),ought to
②可做情态动词又可做实义动词:need,dare
③可做情态动词又可做助动词:shall(should),will(would)
④具有情态动词特征:have(had) to,used to
位置:
情态动词在句中放在谓语动词之前, 谓语动词前若有助动词,则在助动词之前,疑问句中,
情态动词
则在主语之前。
I can see you. Come here.
我能看见你,过来吧。
He must have been away.
他一定走了。
What can I do for you?
我能帮你吗?
How dare you treat us like that!
你怎能那样对待我们!
特点:
情态动词无人称和数的变化,
情态动词后面跟的动词需用原形,否定式构成是在情态动词后面加
。
个别情态动词有现在式和过去式两种形式, 过去式用来表达更加客气, 委婉的语气, 时态性不强,
可用于过去,现在或将来。情态动词属非及物动词,故没有被动语态。情态动词没有非谓语形式,即没
有不定式,分词,等形式。
He could be here soon.
他很快就来。
We can't carry the heavy box.
我们搬不动那箱子。
I'm sorry I can't help you.
对不起,我帮不上你。
基本助动词与情态助动词最主要的区别之一是,基本助动词本身没有词义
,而情态助动词则有自己
的词义,能表示说话人对有关动作或状态的看法,或表示主观设想:
What have you been doing since?
(构成完成进行体,本身无词义)
I am afraid I must be
going. (一定要)
You may have read some account
of the matter. (或许已经)
除此之外,情态助动词还有如下词法和句法特征:
1
1)
除ought和used以外,其他情态动词后面只能接不带to的不定式。如果我们把ought
to和u
sed to看做是固定词组的话,那么,所有情态动词无一例外地只能接不带to的不定式:
We used to grow beautiful roses.
I
asked if he would come and repair my television
set.
2) 情态助动词在限定动词词组总是位居第一:
They
need not have been punished so severely.
3)
情态助动词用于第三人称单数现在时的时候,没有词形变化,即其词尾无-s形式:
She
dare not say what she thinks.
4)
情态动词没有非限定形式,即没有不定式和分词形式,也没有相应的动名词:
Still,
she needn't have run away.
5) 情态助动词的“时”的形式并
不是时间区别的主要标志。在不少场合,情态助动词的现在时和过
去时形式都可以表示现在、过去或将来
时间:
Would you mind very much if I ask you
to do something?
She told him he ought not
to have done it.
6) 情态助动词之间是相互排斥的,即在一个限定动词词
组中只能出现一个情态助动词,但有时却
可以与have和be基本助动词连用:
You should have washed the wound.
Well, you
shouldn't be reading a novel.
用法
首先它是动词
,而且不同于行为动词,行为动词表示的是可以通过行为来表达的动作(如写,读,
跑),而情态动词只
是表达的一种想法(如能,也许,敢)。
用法是:情态动词+行为动词原形
例句:I can read this sentence in English.
我能用英语读这句话。
情态动词是一种本身有一定的词义,表示说话人的情绪,态度或语气的动词,但不能单独作谓语,
只能
和其他动词原形构成谓语。
We can be there on time
tomorrow.我们明天能按时去那儿。
May I have your name?
我能知道你的名字吗?
Shall we begin now?我们现在就开始吗?
You must obey the school rules.你必须遵守校规。
情态动词数量不多,但用途广泛,主要有下列:
can (could), may
(might), must, need, ought to, dare (dared), shall
(should), will (would),h
ave (to) ,had better.
功能
助动词(auxiliary)主要有两类:基本助动词(primary
auxiliary)和情态助动词(modal auxiliary)。基本
助动词有三个:do,
have和be;情态助动词有十三个:may, might; can, could; will,
would; shall,
should; must, need, dare, used
to, ought to.
上述两类助动词的共同特征是,在协助主动词构成限
定动词词组时,具有作用词的功能:
2
1) 构成否定式:
He didn't go
and neither did she.
The meeting might not
start until 5 o'clock.
2) 构成疑问式或附加疑问式:
Must you leave right now?
You have
been learning French for 5 years, haven't you?
3) 构成修辞倒装:
Nowhere can he obtain any
information about his sister.
Hardly had he
arrived when she started complaining.
4)
代替限定动词词组:
A: Who can solve this crossword
puzzle?
B: Tom can.
A: Shall I write
to him?
B: Yes, do.

定句和疑问句中。

态度,主要用在否定句、疑
问句和感叹句中。
10. 特别说明:
(1) could用来表示请求时,语气委婉,主要用于疑问句,不能
用于肯定句,答语应用can(即:could不能用
于现在时态的简略答语中)。如:
——Could I use your dictionary?
——Yes, you
can.(否定回答可用:No, I’m afraid not.)
此时可与may互换。在疑问句中还可用could,
might代替,不是过去式,只是语气更委婉,不能用于肯定句和答语中。
----
Could I come to see you tomorrow?
---- Yes,
you can. ( No, I’m afraid not. )
(2)
can和be able to辨析
can(could)和be able
to都可以表示能力,意思上没有区别。但can只有现在式和过去式,而be able
to则
有更多的形式。如:
I’ve always wanted to able to
speak fluent English.
Those bags look really
heavy, are you sure you’ll be able to carry them
on your own?
但是,表示在过去某时的某一场合经过一番努力,终于做成了某事,通常不
用could,而用waswere able
to来表示。could:有潜能,但并未做到
这时,waswere able to相当于managed to do或succeed in
doing。如:
After the accident it was a long time
before she was able to walk again.
The fire
was very big, but most people were able to escape
from the building.
I can sing many English
songs.我会唱许多英文歌曲。
We were able to return to our
campsite before the heavy rain.我们在下大雨前设法会到了野营地。
4
He was able to swim across
the river and escaped being caught.他游到了河对岸,没有被抓住。
在否定句中,cancould与be able to几乎没有什么差别,两者可以互换。例如:
She wasn’t able tocouldn’t cook French
dishes.她不会做法国菜。
(3) 惯用形式“cannot
…too…”表示“无论怎么……也不(过分)”。如:
You cannot be
too careful.你越小心越好。
惯用形式“cannot but+
不定式(不带to)”表示“不得不,只好”。如:
I cannot but
admire her determination.我不得不钦佩你的决心。
二.may和
might
情态动词
maymight
用法
表示允许、请求。否定回答一般用must
notmustn’t,表示“禁止、阻止”之意,但也可
以用had better not
(最好别)或may not(不可
以),语气较为委婉。
在表示请求、允许时,might比may语气更委
婉些。而不是过去式,用May
I征询对方许可
在文体上比较正式,在口气上比较客气,在日
常用语中,用Can
I征询对方意见更为常见。
否定回答时可用can’t
或mustn’t,表示“不可以,禁止”。
或者
肯定回答可以用
yes,please. Certainly.
例句
1. May I come
in and wait?
2. ——May I smoke here?
——No,
you mustn’t(或No, you’d better not.)

take this book out of the room?
---- Yes, you
can. (No, you can’t mustn’t. )

the car.
— Might I use your pen? — No, you
mustn't.
表示可能性的推测,通常用在肯定句和否定句
1. It may
rain this afternoon.
中,含有“或许”“大概”“可能”之意;用
2. She might come to
join us this afternoon.
might代替may时,则语气显得更加不肯定。
3. I suppose he
might have missed the train.
may might be
very busy now.
5.Your mother may might not
know the truth.
1. May you succeed.。
may用于祈使句表示祝愿
2. May you have many more
days as happy as this
one.
3. May she rest
in peace.愿她安息。
惯用句式:
“may well+
动词原形”,意为“完全能,很可
能”,相当于to be very likely to
“may as well或might(just)as
well+动词原形”
意为“最好,满可以,倒不如,不妨,”,相当于
“had
better或there is no reason to do anything
else.
1. It may well change forever the way you look
at
Greek art.
2. There may well be a real
problem here.
3. There is nothing to do, so I

6. Must I return the book tomorrow?
7.

1.—Must I come back
before ten?
—Yes,you must.(No, you needn’t)
we hand in our exercise books today?
—
Yes, you must. (No, you don’t have to.)
表示有把握的推测,意为“一定、准是、想必”,

age.

也可拼做

to。
8.
“必须,不得不”,意义与must相近。但must
表示的是说话人的主观看法,而have
to则往
往强调客观需要,有被动接受的意思。无疑问
句形式,疑问句用must 代替。
9.
16.
must只有一种形式,即现在式与过去式
都是一种形式,在间接引语中must可用于表

to 想要,为固定搭配
否定句用will,一般不用would,
5. Would you like some
cake?
6 Won't you sit down?
won't
you是一种委婉语气。
表示习惯或倾向,意为“总是,
惯于”。Will指现在,woul
d指过
去。would表示过去习惯时比
used
to正式,且没有“现已无此
习惯”的含义。

用于表示具有某种功能时
will float on water.油能浮在水面上。
will die.人总会死的。
door will not open.门打不开。
2 The car will
not start.车子启动不了。
特别说明:would与used to辨析
would可用来表示过去反复出现的动作,但不能表示过去存在的状态,所以我们不能说:“she
would be a quiet girl.”
另外,would强调过去某种特定情况下的活动,是完全过去的事情,同现在没有联系。而used
to则着眼于过去
和现在的对比,隐含现在已不存在,动作或状态都可表示。Would可以表示不规则
的习惯,used to则不可。如:
He used to be a naughty boy
and cause trouble.
I used to get up at six in
the morning.
Sometimes she would take a
walk in the neighboring woods.
In those
days, whenever I had difficulties, I would go to
Mr. Chen for help.
六.need和dare
情态动词

时,仅用于否定句和疑问句,(在肯定句中一
般用m
ust, have to, ought to, should代替。
)只有现在时,
例句

mention this. 他们谁也不敢提
这件事
做实义动词时,其变化与一般的实义动词相
1. A job like nursing
needs patience and
understanding.(need+名词,need
同,有人称、时态和数的变化,后接带to的
