Grammar Focus (P35) 表示推测的情态动词。 　 在英语中，表示对某件事物的确定程度，即表示推测的时候，我们通常会用到以下情态动词，must, might, could, may, can’t, couldn’t.

一. can和could的区别和用法 1. can表示体力和脑力方面的能力, 或根据客观条件能做某种动作的“能力”。 例如： 　 Can you speak English？　　 　 Can you make a cake？ 　 can用在否定句和疑问句中时有时表示说话人的 “猜测”或 “不肯定”。

例如： 　 Can the news be true？ 　 (在日常会话中, can可代替may表示“允许”, may比较正式) 2. could 是 can的过去式, 表示过去有过的能力和可能性, 还有怀疑和不肯定的意思(在否定和疑问句中)。

e. g. 　　She couldn’t skate when she was five years old.　 （能力） 　　At that time we thought the story could be true． （可能性） could用来提问, 是有礼貌的请求 Could.... Please? 语气较为婉转。

e. g. Could I speak to Mr. Smith, please? 二. Might和may的区别和用法: 1. may的用法: 　 a. 表示”允许”或”请求”。 e. g. May I come in？

　 在使用这一用法时需注意: may表示“允许”的否定形式是must not, 意思是“不应该” “不许可”。e. g. 　　—May I take this book out of the reading-room？ 　　—No, you mustn’t． b. 表示说话人的猜测，认为某一事情“或许”或“可能”发生。

e. g. 　 He may know the answer． c. may用在感叹句中可表示祝愿、愿望。 May you succeed．(祝你成功。) May you have a pleasant journey． (一路平安。)

2. might的用法: a. might可以代替may, 表示现在时间的动作，但语气较为婉转客气或更加不肯定。 e. g. 　 Might I take a suggestion？ 　 b. might用来表示现在时间时, 还可表示”规劝”。

e. g. 　　You might pay more attention to spoken English． 三. must与have to的区别 　 have to比较强调客观需要, must着重说明主观看法。另外have to能用于更多时态, 比较下面的句子：

We had to be there at 10:00. 有时两者都可以用, 意思差别不大。 e. g. We must have to leave now. must在表示说话人对事物的推测时候要注意它比may肯定得多, 相当于汉语的“一定”或“准是”。(只有在肯定句中能这样用。)

　 This must be your room． 　 在回答由must引起的问题时, 如果是否定的答复，不能用mustn’t, 而需要用needn’t或don’t have to, 因为mustn’t是“一定不要”的意思。
