使用情态动词要注意的问题
下面是同学们在使用情态动词时经常出现的问题,也是情态动词中的难点,而且又是近来高考的热点。
一、要注意一些同义、近义的情态动词的区别
1 . 表示可能性的 can’t 与 may not 的区别。
can‘t 常常表示“不可能”、“一定不”,may not 表示“可能不、或许不”。很明显,can’t 比 may not 语气强,把握性大。如:
The man standing over there _____ be Jack . He‘s gone to Hong Kong .
A . mustn’t B . can‘t C . won’t D . may not
说话者既然知道“He‘s gone to Hong Kong”,那么对“The man 不是 Jack”一定满有把握,故正确选项为 B。
2 . 表示“能够”意义的 can 与 be able to 的区别。
凡表示“经过努力、设法做成某事”时不用 can,须用 be able to。如:
The fire spread through the hotel very quickly , but everyone _____ get out . ( NMET97 )
A . had to B . would C . could D . was able to
句意为:大火弥漫整个旅馆,但人位学是设法逃了出来。故正确选项为D。
3 . 表示“不能”意义的 can’t 与 mustn‘t 的区别。
can’t 表示“不能”,是指无能力;mustn‘t 表示“不能”则指的是“禁止,不允许”。在口语里,can’t 也可表示“禁止,不允许”,但语气不如 mustn‘t 强。如:
( 1 ) 他年纪小,不能上学。
【 正 】He is so young that he can’t go to school .
( 2 ) 里边正在开会,不能吵闹。
【 正 】There‘s meeting inside . You mustn’t make any noise .
【 误 】There is a meeting inside . You can‘t make any noise .
二、要注意几个使用的特定范围
1 . 表示推测时,can 不能用在肯定句中 ( 但 could 能 ) ;may 和 might 不能用在疑问句中。如:
( 1 ) Peter _____ come with us tonight , but he isn’t very sure yet . ( MET93 )
A . must B . may C . can D . will
句意为:Peter 有可能同我们一块儿来,但还不肯定。正确选项为 B。
( 2 ) _____ it be a sunny day tomorrow?
A . Can B . May C . Shall D . Should
句意为:明天可能是睛天吗?正确选项是 A。
2 . 作为情态动词,need 和 dare 不能用在肯定句中 ( 条件状语从句除外 ) 。肯定句中,须把它们用作实义动词,后接带 to 的不定式。如:
【 误 】We need hold a meeting to discuss the matter .
【 正 】We need to hold a meeting to discuss the matter .
【 正 】If you need hold a meeting to discuss the matter , I‘ll give you a help .
3 . 在回答由 could 和 might 引起的表示请示的一般疑问句时,不能用 could 和 might ( 应分别用 can 和 may ) 回答。如:
— Could I borrow your dictionary?
— Yes , of course you _____ . ( MET92 )
A . might B . will C . can D . could
正确选项为 C。
三、要注意一些“形意不一致”的现象
1 . 过去式 could 或 might 后接动词原形可以表示对现在或将来 ( 不是对过去 ) 的推测。如:
I’m afraid it _____ snow tonight .
A . can B . should C . might D . must
2 . may ( not ) 和 can‘t 后接动词的完成式,表示对过去 ( 不是对现在或将来 ) 的推测。如:
— There were already five people in the car but they managed to take me as well .
— It _____ a comfortable journey .
A . can’t have been B . couldn‘t be C . mustn’t have been D . shouldn‘t be
四、要注意情态动词的常用形式的反常使用。
1 . should 和 ought to 后接动词原形,常表示“应该……”;但也可用来表示推测,意为“想必会……”。如:
