語法小結(jié) Grammar
情態(tài)動詞can和be able to, may
1.情態(tài)動詞can 和be able to
can 和be able to 都可以表示有某種能力,但can只能用于現(xiàn)在時和過去時(could),而be able to 可以用于任何時態(tài)。
I can do this job. 我能做這個工作。
I will be able to do this job soon. 我很快就能做這個工作。
如果表示“成功地做了謀事”時,只能用was/were able to,例如:
He was able to flee the country before the war broke out. 在戰(zhàn)爭爆發(fā)之前,他成功地逃離了這個國家。
2.情態(tài)動詞may
may 表示允許或請求,和沒有把握的推測。當may放在句首,表示祝愿。
May God bless you! 上帝保佑你!
He might be at home. 他可能在家里。
might 是may的過去時,但在表示推測時,不表示過去的時態(tài),只是might表示的可能性比may小。
Might I use your pen? 我能用你的筆嗎?
