情態(tài)動(dòng)詞是中考??伎键c(diǎn)。情態(tài)動(dòng)詞本身有一定的意義,但是不能獨(dú)立做謂語(yǔ),必須和動(dòng)詞原形一起構(gòu)成句子的謂語(yǔ)部分。另外,情態(tài)動(dòng)詞沒(méi)有人稱和數(shù)的變化,也就是說(shuō)主語(yǔ)是第三人稱單數(shù)時(shí)情態(tài)動(dòng)詞后邊不加-s;情態(tài)動(dòng)詞沒(méi)有非謂語(yǔ)形式,即沒(méi)有不定式、分詞、動(dòng)名詞形式。由此看來(lái),說(shuō)它“用情專一”一點(diǎn)都不為過(guò)。
一、常見(jiàn)情態(tài)動(dòng)詞的用法
1. can
①表示“會(huì)、能夠”,指具備某種能力。如:
Lang Lang can play the piano very well. 郎朗鋼琴?gòu)椀煤芎谩?/p>
I cant swim at all. 我根本不會(huì)游泳。
②和may一樣,表示“請(qǐng)求或許可”。如:
Can / May I come in? 我可以進(jìn)來(lái)嗎?
Can / May you give me a hand? 你能幫我一下嗎?
③表示“懷疑、不確定或猜想”。如:
Can it be true? 那是真的嗎?
He cant be a student. 他不可能是一個(gè)學(xué)生。
④could除了做can的過(guò)去式外,還可表示一種委婉的語(yǔ)氣或用于不太肯定的推測(cè)。如:
Could you come with me? 你能和我一起去嗎?
The bike could be Toms. 那輛自行車可能是湯姆的。
⑤be able to意為“能、會(huì)”,和can的意思基本一樣。be able to強(qiáng)調(diào)通過(guò)努力而獲得的能力;而can則強(qiáng)調(diào)自身已具有的能力。另外,can只有兩種時(shí)態(tài)(一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)和一般過(guò)去時(shí));而be able to可以有多種時(shí)態(tài)。如:
I hope Chinese Womens Volleyball team will be able to win the Olympic gold medal. 我希望中國(guó)女排能夠贏得奧運(yùn)會(huì)金牌。
You will be able to pass the exam if you work hard at it. 只要你努力,你就會(huì)考試及格。
Luckily, he was able to win the match in the end. 幸運(yùn)的是,他終于贏得了比賽。
