【语法回顾】
1 情态动词的语法特征
1) 情态动词不能表示正在发生或已经发生的事情,只表示期待或估计某事的发生。
2) 情态动词除ought 和have 外,后面只能接不带to 的不定式。
3) 情态动词没有人称,数的变化,即情态动词第三人称单数不加-s。
4)情态动词没有非谓语形式,即没有不定式,分词,等形式。
常见的情态动词有:can (could) ,may (might), must ,shall (should), will (would), dare (dared) , need等,另外,have to、had better也当作情态动词使用。情态动词后面必须加动词的原形。

2.情态动词本身有词义,但词义不完全,不能单独用作谓语,没有人称和数的变化,且后面只跟动词原形。如:

She cans sing an English song.(F)
She can sings an English song.(F)
She can sing an English song.(T)
3.有些情态动词的过去时与其原形相同,有些与原形不同。
(1) 与原形相同的有:
must --- must ought to --- ought to
(2) 与原形不同的有:
can --- could will --- would

(二)情态动词
情态动词本身有一定含义,但不能单独作谓语,要和行为动词一起构成谓语。它们也能表明句子的否定、疑问或时态上的区别。常见的情态动词有:can, may, must, need, should等。
1.can与could
1). can
(1)表示体力或脑力方面的“能力”,也能表示根据客观条件能做某事的“能力”。
He can drive.
Can you jump as far as he did?
I can’t catch up with Jim.
can与be able to二者都表示“能够”,区别是:can只有现在时和过去式,而be able to可用于各种时态。如:
I’ll be able to speak French in half a year.
He hasn’t been able to finish it on time.
(2)表示允许:
You can go now.
Can I use your bike?
(3)表示推测:
Who can it be?
It can’t be true.
can表示猜测或怀疑只用于疑问句及否定句中。
can 和be able to
1)can/could 表示能力;可能 (过去时用could), 只用于现在式和过去式(could)。be able to可以用于各种时态。例如:
They will be able to tell you the news soon. 他很快就能告诉你消息了。
2)只用be able to的情况:
a. 位于助动词后。
b. 情态动词后。
c. 表示过去某时刻动作时。
d. 用于句首表示条件。
e. 表示成功地做了某事时,用was/were able to,不能用could。例如:
He was able to flee Europe before the war broke out. = He managed to flee Europe before the war broke out.
他在战争爆发之前逃离欧洲。
注意:could有时不表示时态
1)提出委婉的请求,(注意在回答中不可用could)。例如:
--- Could I have the television on? 我能看电视吗?
--- Yes, you can. / No, you can't. 可以/不可以。
2)在否定句、疑问句中表示推测或怀疑。例如:
He couldn't be a bad man. 他不大可能是坏人。
2). could
(1)can的过去式,表示过去有能力及过去的可能性。

2). might

3) need后接名词做宾语时,表示“需要”某件事物,此时用作实义动词,与一般的实义动词用法完全一样。如:
We need three apples.
He doesn’t need so many books.
7. ought
ought只有一种形式,后面常与to连用,意思是“应该”。

在表示“应该”时,ought to的语气比should要强,比must稍弱。
