情态动词本义(can could should)知识点总结 之前咱们聊过了情态动词和have done在一起的用法,今天咱们来看看情态动词的本义。 如果从考察覆盖面最广的角度上来看,情态动词在考试中主要出现以下的考法: can / could 强调客观能力 / 表示许可 / 推测 will / would 体现主观意愿 / 表将来 may / might 语气最弱,强调不确定的情况或较弱的可能性 / 表示许可 must 语气最强,态度非常坚决、情况非常确定、语气非常绝对 should提出建议 / 描述正常状态下的行为 / 描述在现有条件下将来即将发生的事情 shall / ought to 强调义务和责任,或命令与预期,语气较强 need 提出需求,强调必要性 但是就像我们昨天说过的,情态动词一定在描述句中某个比较特殊的情感态度语气。所以如果我们光探讨这些既彼此独立又互相有交集的功能定义,掌握效果肯定会打折扣。咱们还是一起看看在过去的题目中这些东西的用法,有个环境会更有体会一些。 在题目里考察理解最多的,应该是can / could和should。 can / could强调客观能力 / 表示许可 / 推测 should 提出建议 / 描述正常状态下的行为 / 描述在现有条件下将来即将发生的事情 The soccer team has been doing well this season, so they should win the championship. 在现有条件下将来会发生的事。他们应该能赢得冠军。这句话能不能用could?could要不就是过去,要不就表示语气偏弱,哪个和这句都不吻合。 - It's eight o'clock already.
