高一必修3情态动词用法讲解
一、 情态动词的概念
1、情态动词本身有一定的词义，但并不完整，必须与动词原形一起构成谓语。情态动词无人称和数的变化，只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。
2、情态动词后面加动词原形。否定式构成是在情态动词后面加“not”。
二、 情态动词的用法
【第1组】can和could
1．表示能力，可译为“能，会”。
I can swim. 我会游泳。
Emily can dance well and her mother could dance well when she was young.
艾米丽舞跳得很好，她妈妈年轻时舞跳得也很好。
The cinema can seat 1,000 people. 这电影院能容纳1，000人。
I could not read such an easy book when I was 7 years old.
我七岁时连如此简单的书我也看不懂。
2. 表示允许、许可，常用在口语中。用于肯定句表示给与对方许可；用于否定句表示“禁止，不可以”；用于疑问句表示征求对方许可，这时could不表示过去只表示委婉语气，比can语气上要客气。
--- Could I use your dictionary? 我可以用一下你的字典吗？
---Yes, go ahead. 可以，用吧。（或Yes, you can. 但不能说Yes, you could.）
Could /Can you tell me how to get to the zoo? 劳驾，你能告诉我怎么去动物园吗？
He asked me whether he could take the book out of the reading room.
他问我可不可以把书带出阅览室。
3．表示推测，常用于否定句和疑问句。在此种用法中can和could没有时态的区别，只是表示可能性的大小，can表示推测的可能性比could大。
Can he be ill at home? 他会是生病在家吗？
Can the story be true? 这个故事会是真的吗？
He cannot be at home. 他不可能在家。
You mustn't smoke while you are walking around in the woods. You could start a fire.
在林子里走时一定不要吸烟，那样可能会引起火灾。
【注意】can有时候可以用在肯定句中，表示理论上的可能性，并不涉及具体某事会发生，常用来说明人或事物的特征。要表达具体某事实际发生的可能性时，不用can，需用could，may，might。
As a human being, anyone can make a mistake.
I’m confident that a solution can be found.
He can be very forgetful sometimes.
I may stay at home this weekend.（实际可能性）
Peter might come to join us.(实际可能性)

【误】Look! I'm able to swim.
【正】Look! I can swim. 看，我会游泳了！
【第2组】may和might
1. 表示许可，常译为“可以”。在口语中可用can, could代替may, might，但在正式场合用may, might。用于疑问句征求对方许可时，might不表示过去，而是表示口气比较婉转。

四、注意点
1.表示能力，意为“能，会”，用can, could, be able to均可，could是can的过去式。区别是：can只有过去时could，而be able to有多种时态。
John can speak three foreign languages fluently.约翰能流利地说三门外语。
John could swim when he was four.约翰四岁时就会游泳。
I regretted that I hadn’t been able to drive him home.我后悔我没能开车送他回家。

Can I park my car in front of your office?我能把我的车停在你的办公室前面吗？
--- Could I use your bike now? --- Certainly. Go ahead.
May I have a look at the photos that you took yesterday?我能看一下你昨天拍的照片吗？
3. must, can, may/might表推测时的用法。
表推测时must用于肯定句，can用于疑问句和否定句，may/might用于肯定句和否定句。must用于否定句时不表推测，表示“禁止，不可以”。

He may be out now.他可能出去了。

我想你千万不要改变你的生活方式。（这句中的must不表推测，表禁止。）
【注意】can和may表推测都可用于否定句，但can’t的意思是“不可能”，may not的意思是“可能不”。可见can’t的否定意味更强。
A teacher like her may not be popular with the students.
像她这样的老师可能不会受到学生的欢迎。
A teacher like her can not be popular with the students.
像她这样的老师不可能会受到学生的欢迎。
4.can和may都可以用于肯定句中表示可能性，注意它们的的区别。can表示可能性时是“理论上的（或逻辑上的）可能性”，并不是说话人的主观猜测，意为“有时会…”。may表示的是“现实的可能性”，是对具体事情的推测。
In the north of Canada it can snow in June.在加拿大的北部六月份有时会下雪。
The road is narrow and it can be blocked sometimes.这条路窄，有时会堵车。
Jane has promised she will be here at 8:30,but it is 9:00 now and she hasn’t turned up. The road may be blocked. 简答应8：30到这儿，但现在9：00了她还没到。路上可能堵车了。
5. shall是近几年全国各省市高考中考查频率较高的一个重点情态助动词。主要掌握以下内容：shall与第一人称搭配，用于疑问句，表提出请求或征求意见；与二、三人称搭配，用于陈述句（肯定句和否定句），表警告、威胁、允诺、命令、强制、决心等。
Shall he open the window? 他打开窗户好吗？（征求意见）
You shall get the justice that you want.你会得到你想要的公平。（表允诺）
You shall not use my camera if you don’t use it properly.
如果你不正确使用，我不会让你使用我的照相机（表警告）
No, he shan’t go. 不! 他不能去。（表命令）
Nothing shall stop us from carrying out this plan.什么也阻挡不了我们实施这项计划。（表决心）
6. must和should推测之外的用法。
1）上面讲了must在肯定句中表推测的用法，must在肯定句中还有“必须”的用法。注意二者不要混淆。另外，must还有“偏偏，非要做…”的意思。
We must do everything step by step.我们一定要一步一个脚印地做每一件事情。
If you must smoke, please go outside.如果你非要抽烟，请出去。
When everybody was in bed, he must turned the radio on.
大家都上床睡觉了，他偏偏把收音机打开了。
2）should表示吃惊、赞叹、不满等情绪，是高考热点。
It’s wonderful that you should have achieved so much in these years.
这几年你们有了这么大的成就真了不起。
You can’t imagine a gentleman like him should treat a lady so rudely.
你想象不出来象他这样一位绅士竟然会如此粗鲁地对待一位女士。
五、情态动词的反义疑问句
1．当陈述句部分有情态动词must时
1）must表示“必须、禁止“时，反意疑问部分要用must (mustn’t) 。
You mustn’t stop your car here, must you?
2）must表示“有必要”时，反意疑问句部分要用needn’t。
They must finish the work today, needn’t they?
You must see the doctor, needn’t you?
3）当must用来表示对现在的情况进行“推测”时，反意疑问部分要根据must后面的动词采用相应的形式。
He must be good at maths, isn’t he?
4）当must用来表示对过去的情况进行“推测”（must + have done）时：
a). 单纯表示对过去的推测, 与现在无关, 反意疑问句附加部分用过去式。
b). 表示对过去的推测且影响到现在或持续现在, 反意疑问句附加部分用现在完成式。
She must have read the novel last week, didn’t she?
You must have told her about it, haven’t you?

6. 陈述部分有would rather +v.，疑问部分多用 wouldn't +主语
