情態(tài)動詞表推測的講解及練習題(共6頁)

1、優(yōu)勝教育表推測時，英語中只使用must,may,might,may not和can't。這五個表達的語氣依次遞減：must:一定（語氣肯定）may：也許（不很肯定）might：或許（比may語氣更弱）may not：也許不（表否定）can't：一定不（must的反義）推測現(xiàn)在的事情用must,may,might,may not和can't+do或bee.g.She must be at home now. The boy may play now.推測過去的事情用must,may,might,may not和can't+have donee.g.She migh

2、t have been ill yesterday. He must have hold the party.情態(tài)動詞must, can, could, may, might表推測的用法 情態(tài)動詞中的must, can, could, may, might都表推測。其中must的可能性最大，can / could次之，may / might最小。具體用法如下：1.must的用法（1）表示推測“可能性”時，意思是“一定、準是”，語氣較肯定，較有把握。He must be American. = It is certain that he is American. 他準是個美國人。（2）must表

3、推測只能用于肯定句。如果要表示“一定不、肯定不”的意思時，應用cant,如詢問某種可能時，應用can。He must know my address. 他肯定知道我的地址。（一定） He cant know my address. 他肯定不知道我的地址。（一定不）Can he know my address? 他知道我的地址嗎？（詢問可能性）（3）must表示推測時，可以推測現(xiàn)在/正在發(fā)生的動作/過去發(fā)生的動作。He must have a car now. （現(xiàn)在）他一定有輛小汽車。He must be doing his exercises in the classroom.（正在進行）他

4、一定在教室里做練習。He must have finished the work.（過去發(fā)生）他一定已完成了工作。注：must表示推測時很少用于將來的情況。一般不用He must come tomorrow.可用Its certain / Im sure that he will come tomorrow.（4）在反意疑問句中，當附屬部分含有表示推測意義的must時，疑問部分的助動詞應與must后面的動詞在非推測情況下的用法保持一致。 He must be a worker, isnt he? （現(xiàn)在）他準是個工人，是嗎？It must have rained last night, did

5、nt it? （過去）昨晚一定下雨了，是不是？You must have learned English for many years, havent you? （完成時）你一定學了好多年英語，是嗎？2.can / could的用法（1）can表示推測“可能性”時，往往用于否定句或疑問句。Cant“一定不”，語氣很肯定。can在疑問句中意思是“會、可能”。用于肯定句時，表示理論上的，潛在的可能性（有傾向，實際上未必會發(fā)生或者不涉及實際是否發(fā)生）往往與sometimes 或者 someone 有關。Accidents can happen. He cant be at home. = It is

6、 impossible that he is at home. 他一定不在家。（2）can /cant后可接進行時/完成時，表示對現(xiàn)在發(fā)生的動作或過去發(fā)生的動作進行推測。They cant be reading in the library. 他們一定不在圖書館讀書。He cant have gone to Shanghai for I saw him a minute ago. 他不可能去了上海，我剛才還看見他。Its so late. Where can she have gone? 天晚了，她可能去哪兒了呢？（3）在反意疑問句中，當陳述部分含有表示推測意義的cant時，疑問部分的助動詞應

7、與cant后面的動詞在非推測情況下的用法保持一致.He cant be a teacher, is he? 他不是教師，是嗎？She cant have finished her homework, has she? 她一定沒有完成家庭作業(yè)，是不是？could可用于表示某事有可能發(fā)生表示可能性不大的推測。意思相當于may/might Dont eat it. It could be poisonous. 不要吃它，可能有毒。The plane could be delayed by fog. 飛機可能會因為霧晚點。 （5）could還可以用于表示客氣、委婉、禮貌的請求語氣。Excuse me,

8、 could you tell me the way to the bus station?Could you help me?（6）couldnt表示否定推測，表示某事不可能真實，或由于特定事實或環(huán)境某事肯定不會發(fā)生。It couldnt possibly be poison. 這不可能是毒藥。表示對過去發(fā)生的事推測，常常和have done 連用He was not at home last night . He could/ might have gone to movies. I didn't see her at the meeting yesterday; she coul

9、dn't have spoken at the meeting. 3. may和might的用法（1）may, might表示推測“可能性”時，意思是“可能”、“也許”，語氣沒有 must肯定。He may / might be American. = It is possible that he is American.他可能是個美國人。注：might不表示過去時態(tài)，只是語氣上比may更委婉，表示的可能性更小。（2）may, might表推測時，可以用于否定句，意思是“可能不、也許不”，但不用于疑問句。He may / might not be at home. 他也許不在家。（3）

10、may, might可以推測現(xiàn)在正在發(fā)生的動作或過去發(fā)生的動作。He may / might be sleeping now. （現(xiàn)在）他可能正在睡覺。The boy may / might not be watching TV at home. （現(xiàn)在）這個男孩可能沒在家看電視These students may / might have seen the film before.（過去）這些學生以前可能看過這部電影。（4）may, might還可以推測將來的情況。I think we should take raincoat with us, it may rain. 我想我們應該帶上雨衣
