来源:学生作业帮 编辑:作业帮 分类:英语作业 时间:2024/05/08 09:00:26
问题:不懂在什么情况下用这几个词must、might、could。 比如:The woman “could” be running for exercise。 The person“ must” be a girl。 He “might”be running to catch a bus。 在什么情况下用什么词?
解题思路: 如下
解题过程:
情态动词must, can, may, might, could可用来表推测,
  must表示“肯定,一定”,语气较强,但只能用于肯定句中表推测、判断,
  can表示“可能......吗?不可能" 语气较强,但只能用在疑问句或否定句中表推测,
  may表示“很可能”
  might表示“或许” 可能于肯定,否定或问句中,
  could表示“可能”
  情态动词表推测或判断,无论语气多么强,也不能代替事实,其可能性程度看下表:
      100%fact     95%probably        60%possibly
       事实        可能         可能,也许,大概
 推测现在的事情用must,may,might,may not和can't+do或be
e.g.She must be at home now.
The boy may play now.
推测过去的事情用must,may,might,may not和can't+have done
e.g.She might have been ill yesterday.
He must have hold the party.

 (现在)She is at home. She must be at home. She may/might/could be at home.
      她在家。      她一定在家。     她也许/或许/可能在家。
  ( 过去) She had an apple. She must have had apple. She may/might/could
                            have had an apple.
      她吃了个苹果。   她肯定吃一个苹果。   她也许/或许/可能吃了
                            一个苹果。
       100% fact     50-80% impossibility  90%impossibility
  (现在)She isn't at home. She may/might/not be at home. She can't be at home.
       她不在家。      她可能/也许不在家。    她不可能在家。
  (过去)She was not at home. She may/might not have been at home. She can't
                       (couldn't) have been at home.
      她(那时)不在家。 她(那时)可能/也许/不在家。 她那时肯定不在家。
注意:表推测的must,may,might,may not和can't是不可以与I think...连用。因为I think...已有推测的含义,故不能连用 。

最终答案:略
