情态动词是英语中很重要的一类动词,暗含着说话者的态度,因此掌握好情态动词,对于把握说话者的意图,思想有着重要的作用。现在总结如下。
①只做情态动词:may, might, must..
②可做情态动词又可做实义动词:如:need, dare,can.......
③具有情态动词特征:have(had,has) to,used to, ought to
④可做情态动词又可作助动词:如:shall(should),will(would)
注意
mustn't代表强烈禁止 must表示主观,have to表示客观。
美式英语中常用must not 而不用 mustn't. mayn't,mightn't和shan't也很少用
常用
can (could), may (might), must, need, ought to, dare (dared), shall (should), will (would)
情态动词要记牢;动词原形来跟梢。
不管人称单复数;现在过去乐逍遥。
can表能力和许可;也许可能may来表;
必须一定must;should应该来报到。
英语情态动词用法顺口溜
回答不须needn’t;mustn’t为不必要。
否定只要接not;疑问赶紧往前跑。
