英语单词是英语学习的基础,许多学生在记单词时经常会出现各种问题,比如记住了英文却不知道中文意思等等,下面小编给大家分享英语中情态动词表推测的用法,希望能够帮助大家!

英语中情态动词表推测的用法(精选篇1)

一、确定被猜测时间,正确判断动词时态形式。

1.对现在或将来的情况进行猜测,用“情态动词+do”的形式;对现在或将来正在进行的情况进行猜测,用“情态动词+be doing”的形式。如:

①He may/ might come tomorrow.明天他可能会来。(将来)

②He may/ might know it.他可能知道这事。(现在)

③He may/ might be waiting for you now.他可能正在等你。(现在进行)

④He may/ might be waiting for you when you get there tomorrow.明天你到那里时,他可能会在等着你。(将来进行)

2. 对过去或已发生的情况进行猜测,用“情态动词+have done”的形式;对过去进行或现在完成进行的情况进行猜测用“情态动词+have been doing”的形式。如:

①He might have seen the film yesterday.昨天他可能已看了那部影片了。(过去)

②He may/ might have arrived in Beijing by now.现在他可能已到达北京了。(现在完成)

③He might have been waiting for you when you phoned him.你给他打电话时,他可能已在等你了。(过去完成进行)

二、把握猜测语气特点,选择恰当情态动词。

1. 熟记情态动词的语气特点和用法限制。

1)表示肯定的猜测时,各情态动词语气强弱如下:

最强——must(一定)

will (很有可能)

would(很有可能)

ought to(应该,很有可能)

should(应该,很有可能)

can(可能)

could(可能)

may(可能)

最弱——might(可能)

2)表示否定的猜测时can't / couldn't语气最强,指“不可能”;may / might not语气最弱,意思是“可能不”。

3)一些情态动词表猜测时的用法限制。

must只用于肯定句;

may/ might一般不用于疑问句;

could可用于各种句式;而can多用于否定句、疑问句,用于肯定句时,多指“客观可能性”。如:

Lightning can be very dangerous.闪电可能会非常危险。

2. 把握题干猜测语气的强弱。

题干中如果有客观依据,应该选择猜测语气最强的情态动词;如果没有客观依据,则应选择猜测语气最弱的情态动词。如:

—Are you coming to Jeff's party?

—I'm not sure. I ________go to the concert instead.

A. must B. would C. should D.might

本题中的猜测没有客观依据。说话人对是否会去参加聚会还没拿定主意,去听音乐会也仅仅是有可能而已。因此,应选语气最弱项,答案为D。

另外,在特定的语境中,一些“情态动词+have done”不再对一件事情是否发生进行猜测,而是对已发生的事表达自己的看法,有时具有一定的感情色彩。

①ought to/ should have done本该做(却未做);oughtn't to/ shouldn't have done本不该做(却做了),含有“责备”之意。如:

You shouldn't have done that; I had warned you of that several times.我已多次警告你,你本不该那么做的。

②might have done本可以做(却没有),有时表示很委婉的责备。如:

You might have phoned me, though you were busy then.你再忙也该给我打个电话。

③could have done本可能(却没有)如:

He could have caught the early bus, but he was delayed by helping a stranger.他本能够赶上早班车;他是因为帮一个陌生人而晚点的。

④would(not) have done本想做(却没做)/本不想做(却做了)。如:

I would have helped you, but I was too busy.我本想帮你,可我太忙了。
