㈡情态动词表推测1. 形式 肯定的推测:must 可能的推测:may might can could 否定的推测:can’t couldn’t 疑问的推测:can could (注意mustn’t表“禁止”) 2. 时间 对过去:情态动词+完成式(have done)“过去可 能” ①must have done “过去一定做了某事” ②can’t/couldn’t have done “过去不可能做了某事” ③may/might have done “过去可能做了某事” 对正在进行:情态动词+be doing 对现在或将来:情态动词+do
不同的“肯定”程度可按下列层次排列: He is at home. (事实) He must be at home.(非常肯定的推断) He could be at home.(很可能) He ought to be at home.(很可能) He may be at home.(仅仅可能而已) He might be at home.(或许, 非常不确定) He might not be at home.(也许不在家) He may not be at home. (比might可能) He couldn’t be at home.(很可能不在家) He can’t be at home.(一定不在家) He isn't at home.(事实)
㈢情态动词+完成式①过去可能②表示“本…却…” might have done
“本来可以做某事”,含有轻微的责备语气。 should/ought to have done “本该做某事而未做”; should not/ought not to have done表示”不该做的事而做了” could have done “过去能做而没做”,有一种对过去为付诸实施的 事情的惋惜。 needn’t have done ”本来不必去做某事而做了” 注意:didn’t need to do表示“没必要做某事也没做 ” would rather have done 表示“当时宁愿做了某事”,其否定式would rather not have done表示相反的含义,两者都表示“后悔 ”之意
