23、I _for her.(NMET94)had to write it out must have written it out C. should have written it out D. ought to write it out,例2: I was really anxious about you, you_home without a word.(NMET2001)A. mustnt leave B. shouldnt have left C. couldnt have left D. neednt leave,(二)may/might have done可能已做 must have
24、 done 一定已做 cant have done不可能做,例1:-Where is my pen?- I _it.(NMET88)A. might lose B. wouldnt have lost C. should have lost D. must have lost,例2: The light in his room is still on, so he _ to bed.

26、答必须还成may, can.,例1:-Could I borrow your dictionary?Yes, of course you_. A. might B. will C. can D. should,析:选C。该句用can的委婉表达式could 来征求对方意见,could 和might通用,但回答时必须还成can或may,因此该题不选A.,例2:_you mind my smoking here? A. Should B Could C. Might D. Would,析:选D。征求对方意见我是否在这儿吸烟,语气理应委婉,所以应选委婉的表达方式would you mind来征求对方意
27、见。,3、弄清情态动词的异化现象,有些情态用于疑问句进行回答时,出现了异化现象,此时回答在某 个角度不能继续使用该情态动词, 而改用别的动词。,例1:-Must I start at once? No, you_. A. neednt B. mustnt C. cant D. wont,析:A。由语境可知该答句表示“不必”,而mustnt表示“不准、禁止”,不符合语境,显然应使用neednt表示“不必”,但肯定句回答继续用must。,例2:-Need I hand in my exercise book at once? Yes, you_. A. must B. need C. can D.
28、 will,析:选A。根据规定need用于一般疑问句作肯定回答应换成must,而作否定回答时,使用need的否定式neednt。,4、掌握征求意见情态动词的回答,不少情态动词可用于疑问句征求对方意见,但人称上有时有特殊要求,请看下表:,例1:-_I tell John about it? -No, you neednt. I have told him already.(NMET94) A. Shall B. Will C. Can D. May,析:选A。从回答句“No, you neednt”的语境可知,问句征求对方意见,表示“需要”而且用语第一人称,要使用shall。,例2:_you p
29、lease help me with my English? A. Would B. Do C. Shall D. Can,析:A。次句表示追求对方意见,有“愿意 ”之意,而且又用于地二人称,应选用would。,1、情态动词可表示某一特定的语气或态度:, can表示惊异、怀疑、不相信的态度(用于否定句、疑问句或感叹句)How can you be so careless? may可以表示祈使句,表示祝愿。May we never forget each other. Why/How should结构表示说话人对某事不理解、感到意外、等意思,常译为“竞会”。How should I know?,
30、5、注意下列细节:,2、shall用于第二、三人称陈述句中,表示说话人给对方的命令、警告、许诺或威胁。You shall have the book when I finish it. 3、cannottoo/enough表示“无论如何、也不过分” “越、越好”: You cannot be too careful. 4、cannot but+do sth.表示“不得不,只好”: I could not but choose to go. 5、may well/may as well. 前者为“完全能、很可能”=to be likely to He may well be proud of his son.后者为“最好,满可以”=had better You may as well stay here over the night. 注意区分情态动词否定式表达含义:或许不may not; might not 不可能cant 不能够cant 不许可may not; cant;mustnt 不必neednt 不应该shouldnt; oughtnt to,
