成人英語情態動詞綜合用法輔導

  情態動詞,在英文中主要用來表示說話人的看法、態度等。它很接近中文裡的能願動詞。從用法上來說,它有這樣幾個特點:

1)各個情態動詞自身都有一定的詞義。

2)情態動詞不能在句中獨立擔當謂語。

3)情態動詞在句中不受任何人稱,性,數變化的影響。

4) 情態動詞後接的不定式(除ought外)都不帶to ,即接動詞原形。

英文中的情態動詞主要有:can , could ; may , might ; must ; ought ; need ; dare , dared ,另外,shall , will , should , would在一定的場合也可用作情態動詞。例如:
