情态动词是一种本身有一定的词义
,
但要与普通动词一起使用,
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、应该或必要等。
p>
情态动词后面加动词原形。
分类:
情态动词有四类:
①只做情态动词:
must,can
(could),may(might),ought to
②可做情态动词又可做实义动词:
need,dare
③可做情态动词又可做助动词:<
/p>
shall(should),will(would)
④具有情态动词特征:
have(had) to,used
to
位置
:
情态动词在句中放在谓语动词之前
,
谓语动词前若有助动词
,
则在助动词之
前
,
疑问句中
,
情态动词则在主语之前。
I can see you. Come here.
我能看见你,过来吧。
He must have been away.
他一定走了。
What can I do for you?
我能帮你吗?
How dare you treat us like
that
!
你怎能那样对待我们!
特点
:
情态动词无人称和数的变化
,
情态动
词后面跟的动词需用原形
,
否定式构成是在情态动词
后面加
。
个别情态动词有现在式和过去式两种形式
,
过去式用来表达更加客气
,
委婉
的语气
,
时态性不强
,
可用于过去,
现在或将来。
情态动词属非及物动词,
故没有被
动语态。
He could be here soon.
他很快就来。
We can't carry
the heavy box.
我们搬不动那箱子。
I'm sorry I can't help you.
对不起,我帮不上你。
基本助动词与情态助动词最主要的区别之一是,
基本助动词本身没有词义,
而情态助动词
则有自己的
词义,能表示说话人对有关动作或状态的看法,或表示主观设想:
What have you
been doing since?
(构成完成进行体,本身无词义)
I am afraid I must be
going.
(一定要)
You may have read some
account of the matter.
(或许已经)
除此之外,情态助动词还有如下词法和句法特征:
1
)
除
p>
ought
和
used
以外,
其他情态动词后面只能接不带
to
< br>的不定式。
如果我们把
ought
to
和
used
to
看做是固定词组的话,那么,所有情态动词无一例外地只能接不带
to
的不定
式:
We used to grow
beautiful roses.
I asked if he would come and repair my
television set.
2
)
情态助动词在限定动词词组总是位居第一:
They need not
have been punished so severely.
3
)
p>
情态助动词用于第三人称单数现在时的时候,没有词形变化,即其词尾无
-s
形式:
She dare not say what she
thinks.
4
)
情态动
词没有非限定形式,即没有不定式和分词形式,也没有相应的动名词:
Still, she
needn't have run away.
5
)
情态助
动词的“时”的形式并不是时间区别的主要标志。在不少场合,情态助动词
的现在时和过
去时形式都可以表示现在、过去或将来时间:
Would you mind very much if
I ask you to do something?
She told him he ought not to have done
it.
6
)
情态助
动词之间是相互排斥的,即在一个限定动词词组中只能出现一个情态助动词,
但有时却可
以与
have
和
be
< br>基本助动词连用:
You should have washed the wound.
Well, you
shouldn't be reading a novel.
用法
<
/p>
首先它是动词,
而且不同于行为动词,
行
为动词表示的是可以通过行为来表达的动作
(如
写,读,跑)<
/p>
,而情态动词只是表达的一种想法(如能,也许,敢)
。
用法是:情态动
词
+
行为动词原形
例句:
I
can read this sentence in English.
我能用英语读这句话。
情态动词是一种本身有一定的词义
,
表示说话人的情绪
,
态度或语气的动词
,
但不能单独作
谓语
,
只能和其他动词原形构成谓语。
We can be there on time
tomorrow.
我们明天能按时去那儿。
May I have your
name?
我能知道你的名字吗?
Shall we begin
now?
我们现在就开始吗?
You must obey the school
rules.
你必须遵守校规。

(could),
may
(might),

to,
dare
(dared),
