第二篇:情态动词语法讲稿及随堂练习
情态动词详解
情态动词
1.情态动词的推测表达 2.情态动词表达虚拟语气 3.某些情态动词的特殊用法
情态动词表达虚拟语气:表达“本来…”,“不然早就…”。这是情态动词的一种虚拟语气用法。表示说话人所讲的与所发生的事实相反。表达了说话人的埋怨,后悔的语气。其结构是在一些情态动词后面加 have done 结构。根据要表达的意思,有如下结构:
should have done / ought to have done:本应该…… shouldn’t have done / oughtn’t to have done:本不该…… could have done:本来可以…… needn’t have done:本来没必要…… would like to have done:本来很想…… would rather not have done: 本来不愿意…… could / might / have done: 不然早就
情态动词讲解与训练
高考重点要求:1.掌握情态动词的基本含义和用法,并能根据语境准确使用表达情感的情态动词。2.注意情态动词表示推测的语义差别。3.掌握情态动词后接不定式完成体的不同意义。
复习中需要注意的几点:1.情态动词表推测时语气的差异
肯定句中可用:must , may ,might,should etc.must语气最强 否定句式中可用can not , could not , may not ,might not , can not 语气最强,不可能
1、情态动词的完成式: ⑴ 情态动词的完成式即“情态动词+ have + v-ed分词”,表示对过去行为或动作进行推测、评论或判断。如:
Since the ditch is full of water, it must have rained last night.沟渠里的水都满了,想必昨晚一定下雨了。
You couldn’t have met my grandmother.She died before you were born.你不可能遇到我奶奶,因为她早在你出生前就死了。
I can’t find my keys.I may / might have left them at the school yesterday.我找不到钥匙了,也许昨天丢到学校了吧。
⑵ 当情态动词完成式是由ought to / should加完成式或否定式ought not to / shouldn’t加完成式时,是表示对已发生的情况表示“责备”、“不满”,分别表示“本应该…”和“本不应该…”。例如:
You ought not to make fun of him.He is not the one you laugh at but learn from.你本不应该取笑他的。他不是你嘲笑是热恰恰是你应该学习的一个人。
You should have finished your compositon by yesterday.你本应该昨天前就把作文写完的。
⑶ needn’t have v-ed needn’t have v-ed 表示过去做了某事,但没有做的必要,意为“本没必要…”。例如: You needn’t have wakened me up;I don’t have to go to work today.你本没必要把我叫醒,因为我今天不上班。注:表示推测过去某动作发生的可能性时,就表示的可能性程度而言,must最大,could其次,may更次之,might最小。must表示推测
1)must用在肯定句中表示较有把握的推测,意为“一定”。
2)must表对现在的状态或现在正发生的事情的推测时,must 后面通常接系动词be 的原形或行为动词的进行式。
You have worked hard all day.You must be tired.你辛苦干一整天,一定累了。(对现在情况的推测判断)
He must be working in his office.他一定在办公室工作呢。
比较:
He must be staying there.他现在肯定呆在那里。
He must stay there.他必须呆在那。
3)must 表示对已发生的事情的推测时,must 要接完成式。
I didn't hear the phone.I must have been asleep.我刚才没有听到电话,我想必是睡着了。
否定推测用can't。
If Tom didn't leave here until five o'clock, he can't be home yet.如果汤姆五点才离开这儿,他此时一定还未到家。
表示推测的用法
对不同时间段发生的事情的推测
对现在(一般现在)的推测
情态动词+V原 对过去的推测
情态动词+have + Vp.p 对现在进行的动作的推测
情态动词+be + Ving
can, could, may, might, must 皆可表示推测,其用法如下:
1)情态动词+动词原形。
表示对现在或将来的情况的推测,此时动词通常为系动词。
I don't know where she is, she may be in Wuhan.2)情态动词+动词现在进行时。
表示对现在或将来正在进行的情况进行推测。
At this moment, our teacher must be correcting our exam papers.这时,我们老师想必在批改试卷。
3)情态动词+动词完成时。
表示对过去情况的推测。
We would have finished this work by the end of next December.明年十二月底前我们很可能已完成这项工作了。
The road is wet.It must have rained last night.地是湿的,昨天晚上一定下雨了。
4)情态动词+动词的现在完成进行时。
表示对过去正在发生事情的推测。
Your mother must have been looking for you.你妈妈一定一直在找你。
5)推测的否定形式,疑问形式用can't, couldn't表示。
Mike can't have found his car, for he came to work by bus this morning.迈克一定还没有找回他的车,因为早上他是坐公共汽车来上班的。
注意:could, might表示推测时不表示时态,其推测的程度不如can, may。
三、推测
1.表肯定推测的情态助动词按可能性从小到大排列:might, may, could, should, ought to, will, must;其中might, may, could表示“可能”,should, ought to表示“料想/按常理说应该”,will, must表示“肯定,一定”(must的推测把握最大,它表示没有其它的可能性了,肯定是某种情况;而will是一种主观感觉,并没有排除所有其它可能性)。
2.否定推测可能性从小到大排列为:might not, may not, should not / ought not to, won’t, couldn’t / can’t。其中might not / may not意思是 “可能不”,should not / ought not to意思是“料想/按常理不会 ”,won’t意思是“肯定不”,“ couldn’t / can’t”表示“不可能”。3.这些表事实推测的情态动词都可以表示对各种时间的事实推测,是哪种时间取决于情态助动词后面的主动词形式,分别表述于下:
1)情态助动词+do:对现在的一般情况或将来进行推测
That man smiled at you.He may know you.(= Maybe he knows you.)那个男的朝你笑了。他可能认识你。
Usually Lucy arrives very early, so she shouldn’t / oughtn’t to be late this time.(= It’s reasonable to assume that she won’t be late this time.)通常Lucy到得很早,所以她这次不应该会迟到。
2)情态助动词+ be doing: 对说话时的行为进行推测(但will be doing还可以表示对将来某个时候正发生的行为进行推测)It’s already midnight and all lights are off now.The students must be sleeping.(= There can’t be another possibility.)已经半夜了,所有的灯也都熄了。学生们肯定在睡觉。It’s already midnight.The students will be sleeping now.(对说话时的行为推测)(= I’m quite sure the students are sleeping now.)已经半夜了。学生们会是在睡觉。
Our airplane flies very fast.Perhaps we will be flying over the Pacific when we wake up tomorrow morning.(对将来某个时候正发生的行为进行推测)我们的飞机飞得很快。可能我们明天早晨醒来的时候会在飞越太平洋。
3)情态助动词+ have done:对发生过的动作行为进行推测
We can’t find Tom anywhere.He might / may / could have left town.(= Maybe he has left town.)我们到处都找不到Tom。他可能已经离开镇子了。
The girl in red must have been Lucy.She said she would wear a red blouse and no other girls were in red then.(= There can’t be another possibility.)那个穿红衣的女子一定是Lucy。她当时说她会穿一件红色的衬衫而且当时没有其他的女孩穿红色的衣服。4)情态助动词+have been doing: 对过去某时候正在发生的行为进行推测(也可以表示一直持续到现在的行为)I heard a lot of people singing.They may have been having a party.(=Maybe they were having a party.)我当时听到很多人唱歌。他们可能在聚会。
The girl doesn’t want to talk to his boyfriend.They must have been quarreling.(= I’m sure they have been quarreling.)这个女孩不想和她男朋友说话。他们肯定一直在吵架来着。▲注意:
1)mustn’t不能表示推测,而表示禁止;表示不可能是couldn’t / can’t;can只能在否定句(即“不可能”)和疑问句中("可能......吗")表示推测。
2)can不能用于肯定句中表示对任何时间的事实进行推测(即不能用can do / can have done / can be doing / can have been doing表示对事实进行推测),如不能说She can be Lucy.来表示“她可能是Lucy。”只能说“She could / may / might be Lucy.” Can可以用在否定句中和疑问句中表示对事实推测,can’t表示不可能,和couldn’t 同义,如前所述;用在一般疑问句中,如Can that be Tom?表示“可能......吗?”用在特殊疑问句中,如What can it be?” 表示“可能是什么/为什么/在哪儿............呢?”
3)但是can可以用在肯定句中,表示理论可能上的或泛泛而谈的可能性,可翻译为“(有时)可能”,它不是表示对具体事实的推测。如:
The temperature on the mountain top can be as low as minus 15 degress.山顶的气温有时可能低达零下15度。
The road is always busy.It can be blocked at any time.这条路总是很繁忙。随时都有可能堵上。对比:
It’s very cold now.It could /may / might be as low as minus 15 degrees.现在好冷。现在的气温可能低达零下15度。(对事实推测)
The traffic ahead is not moving.The road could / may / might be blocked now.前面的车没有动了。可能路堵上了。(对事实推测)
情态动词+ have +过去分词
1)may(might)have + done sth, can(could)have + done sth 表示过去,推测过去时间里可能发生的事情。
Philip may(might)have been hurt seriously in the car accident.Philip can(could)have been hurt seriously in the car accident.2)must have +done sth,对过去时间里可能发生的事情的推测,语气较强,具有“肯定”,“谅必”的意思。
---Linda has gone to work, but her bicycle is still here.---She must have gone by bus.3)ought to have done sth, should have done sth
本应该做某事,而事实上并没有做。否定句表示“不该做某事而做了”。
You ought to(should)have been more careful in this experiment.He ought not to have thrown the old clothes away.(事实上已扔了。)
ought to 在语气上比should 要强。
4)needn't have done sth
本没必要做某事
I dressed very warmly for the trip, but I needn't have done so.The weather was hot.5)would like to have done sth
本打算做某事
I would like to have read the article, but I was very busy then.情态动词中应特别注意的典的型结构
They must be in the library, aren’t they? 他们一定还在图书馆,对吧?
They must have gone to the library, haven’t they? 他们一定去图书馆了,对吧? They must have been to the library yesterday, didn’t they? 他们昨天一定去了图书馆,是不是? Let me do it, will you? 让我来做,好么? Let me help you, may I? 请让我帮你,可以吗? Don’t move, will you? 请你别动!Go quickly, can you? 你能不能快点?
Let’s go for a walk, shall we? 咱们去散步,好么?
He used to live in the countryside, didn’t/usedn’t he? 他过去住在农村,对吧?
情态动词,在英文中主要用来表示说话人的看法、态度等。它很接近中文里的能愿动词。从用法上来说,它有这样几个特点:
1)各个情态动词自身都有一定的词义。
2)情态动词不能在句中独立担当谓语。
3)情态动词在句中不受任何人称,性,数变化的影响。
4)情态动词后接的不定式(除ought外)都不带to,即接动词原形。
英文中的情态动词主要有:can , could;may , might;must;ought;need;dare , dared,另外,shall , will , should , would在一定的场合也可用作情态动词。例如:
He can speak five languages.他会说五种语言。
She must have arrived home by now.现在她准到家了。
We should study hard for our motherland.我们应该为祖国而努力学习。
They needn't be in such a hurry for there is enough time
for them.他们还有足够的时间,用不着这么慌张。
1.常用情态动词的基本用法
can , could 能,会
(could可以看作是can的过去式,这两个词除了时态不相同外,在表达意思的许多方面是相同的。当然could也有自己独特的用法。)表示成功地做了某事时,只能用was/were able to,不能用could。但是were / was able to的肯定形式也可以表示过去实现了的具体能力(即表示过去某个时候某人成功地做成某事),此时不能用could替代
He was able to flee Europe before the war broke out.= He managed to flee Europe before the war broke out Although the pilot was badly hurt, he was able to explain what had happened.尽管这个飞行员当时受了重伤,他还是将事情的经过解释清楚了(而不是“他有能力解释清楚”)。
1)表示脑力或体力上的能力
Nobody can stop the development of science.谁也无法阻止科学的发展。
She can sing that song in English.她能用英文唱那歌。
He can submerge to a depth of about twenty meters.他能潜入约二十米深的水中。
He could hardly support his family before he found the new job.他在找到那份新工作前几乎无 法养家。
I could not understand the lecture on the computer given by Mr.Smith.我听不懂史密斯先生作的那个关于计算机的讲座。2)表示可能(理论上或逻辑判断上)表示客观上的可能性
The temperature can fall to-60c, You mustn’t smoke while you’re walking around in the wood.You can start a fire.You can borrow this useful book from the library.你可以从图书馆借到这种有用的书。
A more suitable person than him for the job can not be found.不可能找到比他更适合这份工作的人了。
Now people can skate on the lake.现在人们可以在湖上滑冰了。

3)表示主观上的允许

我可以问你有关这件事的几个问题吗?
You can not leave here till I come back.直到我回来你才能离开。
Such kind of thing can't happen any more later.这类事以后不准再发生了。
Can you tell me how to get to the airport ? 你能告诉我怎么去机场吗?
Could you tell me how to get to the airport ?

4)(用于否定句、疑问句或感叹句中)表示猜测、怀疑或惊诧

He couldn't / can't be over seventy.他不可能有七十多岁了。
Where could / can the boy be now ? 那孩子现在能在哪儿呢?
另外,could还常用于表示较客气委婉的看法、提问及用于虚拟语气的结构中。这时候,could就不可以看作是can的过去式了。而是could自己独特的用法。如:
Could you speak a little slowly ?
您能稍微说慢一点儿吗?
I'm afraid that we couldn't give you any definite answer at this moment.恐怕我们这时候还无法给予您任何确切的答复。
I could come earlier if asked.如果要让我早一点来,我可以来早一点。
We would appreciate it if you could offer us any help.如果您能为我们提供帮助的话,我们将不甚感激。
You could have done better if you had worked harder at it.如果你再加把劲,本来可以干得更好一些的。
(二)情态动词
情态动词表示说话人对某一动作或状态的态度,可以表示“可能”、“可以”、“需要”、“必须”或“应当”等之意。情态动词没有人称和数的变化。但不能单独作谓语动词用,必须和不带to的不定式连用构成谓语动词。只有情态动词ought要和带to的动词不定式连用,在句中作谓语用。
将情态动词置于主语之前即构成其疑问式,在情态动词之后加not既构成其否定式。现将各情态动词的基本用法分述如下:
1、can和could(could为can的过去式)的基本用法
(1)表示能力,如:He can speak English better than you.(2)在疑问句和否定句中表示“怀疑”、“猜测”或“可能性”,如:Can this green bike be Liu Dong's?(3)表示“许可”时can可以和may换用,如:You can(may)go home now.(4)如果要表示语气婉转,可用could代替can,这时could不再是can的过去式,如:Could you come again tomorrow?(5)can和be able to都可表示能力,两者在意思上没有什么区别。但是can只能有现在式和过去式,而be able to则有更多的形式,如:He will be able to do the work better.当表示“经过努力才得以做成功某事”时应用be able to,不能用Can。如:
He was able to go to the party yesterday evening in spite of the heavy rain.2、may和might(might为may的过去式)的基本用法
may , might 或许,可能,可以
(might可以看作是may的过去式,这两个词除了时态不相同外,在表达意思的许多方面是相近的。当然may 和might又都有一些各自不同的独特用法。)
成语: may/might as well,后面接不带to 的不定式,意为“不妨”。
If that is the case, we may as well try.表示希望、祈求、祝愿,常可译为祝愿。如: May you have a good time.祝你过得愉快。May you be happy!祝你幸福!
(1)表示允许或征询对方许可,有“可以”之意,如:You may use my dictionary.在回答对方说“可以做某事”或“不可以做某事”时,一般多不用may或 may not,以避免语气生硬或不容气。而用比较婉转的说法进行回答。如:----May I use this dictionary?----Yes, please.或----Certainly.在请求对方许可时,如果Might I…? 就比用May I…? 语气更婉转些,如:May I have a look at your new computer? 但是表示“阻止”或“禁止”对方做某事时,要用must not代替may not,如:----May we swim in this lake?----No, you mustn’t.It’s too dangerous.(2)may或 might都可以表示可能性,表示“或许”、“可能”之意,如果用might表示可能性,则语气更加不肯定,如:They may(might)be in the library now.3、must的基本用法
(1)must表示“必须”、“应该”之意,其否定式 must not,缩写形式为 mustn't,表示“不应该”,“不准”、“不许可”或“禁止”之意,如:We must study hard and make progress every day.You mustn't touch the fire.(2)对以must提出的疑问句,如作否定回答时,要用needn't或用don't(doesn't)have to(不
必)来回答,而不用mustn't,因为mustn't表示的是“禁止”或“不许可”之意,如:----Must we finish the work tomorrow?----No, you needn't(don't have to), but you must finish it in three days.(3)在肯定句中must可以表示推测,表示“一定”或“必定”之意,如:----Whose new bike can it be?----It must be Liu Dong's.I know his father has just bought him a new one.4、can, could, may, must后接完成式的用法
(1)can, could后接完成式的用法:①在否定句或疑问句中表示对过去发生过的事情的“怀疑”或“不肯定”的态度,Could he have said so? ②在肯定句中,可以表示过去可能做到而实际并没做到的事情,有“劝告”或“责备”的语气。如:----When did you answer her letter?----Only yesterday.----It's too late.You could have answered it earlier, I am sure.(2)may, might后接完成式的用法
①表示对过去某事的推测,认为某一件事情在过去可能发生了。如果使用might,语气就比较婉转或更加不肯定,如:Mary might have learned some Chinese before.②可以表示过去本来可以做到而实
际没有做到的事情,有“劝告”或“责备”的语气,如:You didn't do the work well that day.You might have done it better.(3)must后接完成式的用法:表示对过去某事的推测,认为某事在过去一定做到
了,如:Liu Dong isn’t in the classroom.He must have gone to the library.5、have to 的基本用法:have to和must的意义相近,只是 must侧重表示说话人的主观看法,而have to 则表示客观需要注意:
在这种用法中,回答以must引导的问句时,若是否定答复,不可以用mustn't 而需要用needn't 或是don't have to,因为mustn't意思是“绝不能、一定不要”,而没有“不必”的意思。例如:
--Must we hand in our exercises today ? 我们今天必须交作业吗?--Yes , you must.是的,必须交。
--No , you needn't(or , you don't have to).不,不必今天交。
6、ought to的基本用法
(l)表示根据某种义务或必要“应当”做某事,语气比should强,例如:Everyone ought to obey the traffic regulations.(2)表示推测,注意与must表示推测时的区别:He must be home by now.(断定他已到家),He ought to be home by now.(不十分肯定),This is where the oil must be.(比较直率),This is where the oil ought to be.(比较含蓄);(3)“ought + have+ 过去分词”表示过去应做某事而
实际未做。例如:You ought to have helped him.(but you didn’t)这时,ought与 should可以互相换用。注意,在美国英语中ought to 用于否定和疑问句时to可以省略。例如:Ought you smoke so much? You oughtn’t smoke so much.7、dare的基本用法
(l)dare(dared为其过去式)作情态动词用时,主要用于否定句,疑问句和条件从句中,如:Dared he bread the traffic regulations again?(2)在现代英语中dare常用作行为动词,其变化与一般行为动词相同,如:She dares to stay at home alone at night.8、need的基本用法
(1)need作情态动词用时,主要用于否定句和疑问句中,如:He needn't worry about us now.(2)need也可作为行为动词用,可用于肯定句,否定句和疑问句中,其后可接名词、代词、动名词或带 to 的动词不定式为其宾语。(3)needn't后接完成式可以表示过去做了一件本来不必要做的事情
9、shall的基本用法
(1)shall用作情态动词时,用于第二、三人称,表示说活人的意愿,可表示“命令”、“警告”、“强制”、“威胁”或“允诺”等意,如:He shall go first, whether he wants to or not.(2)在疑问句中,shall用于第一、三人称,表示说话人的征询对方意见或请求指示,Shall用于第一人称和第三人称的疑问句中是向听话人征求意见或命令;用于第二,三人称的陈述句是表示说话人(并非主语)的意志或愿意,含命令,许诺,威胁等含义。Example dialogues: ① Martin: Shall I bring my pen to the meeting tomorrow, sir? = Do you want me to… 我要不要明天把笔带来开会,老师?
Teacher: Yes, you shall.And you shall tell other students to do the same and that they shan’t be late.= I demand that you tell… and that they shouldn’t be late.要。你还要告诉其他学生要带笔,还有他们不能迟到。
10、should的基本用法
用于表示“建议、命令、要求、主张、指示”类含义的名词性从句中的谓语部分should do,但should可以省略;
6)用在虚拟语气句子中,表示发生的可能性不大,但也并非全无可能性,可译为“万一”,如:If it should rain, buy an umbrella.= Should it rain, buy… 万一下雨就买一把伞。Stay at home in case he should come to visit you.呆在家里以防万一他来访。
7)还可以表示兴奋或吃惊,可译为“竟然”,如: Guess who that man is.He should be my favorite actor.猜猜那个男的是谁。他竟然是我最喜爱的演员。
It’s amazing that she should be the only student who has won the award.她竟然是唯一赢得这个奖的学生,真是神了。
(1)should作为情态动词可以表示“建议”或“劝告”,有“应该”之意,如:You should learn from each other.(2)should后接完成式表示过去没有做到本来应该做的事情,或是做了本来不应该做的事情。
Should 表推测,想必一定,照说应该、估计。竟然
They should be home by now.11、will的基本用法
(1)表意愿,用于各人称陈述句,可以表示“意志”或“决心”,如:I have told him again and again to stop smoking, but he will not listen.If you will read the book, I will lend it to you.(2)在疑问句中用于第二人称,表示说话人向对方提出请求或询问对方的意愿,如:Will you please tell me how to get to the Capital Gymnasium?(3)will表示某种倾向或习惯性动作,可以表示一种习惯性的动作,有“总是”或“会要”之意 Fish will die out of water.The door won’t open.would表示过去反复发生的动作或过去的一种倾向。Used to 表示过去的习惯动作或状态,现在不复发生或存在,疑问式和否定式有两种。
Every time she was in trouble, she would go to him for help.shall 用作情态动词时,适用于第二人称和第三人称。主要表示下面几层意思: 1)许诺

情态动词详解
关键字: 师生交流 作者:林建华 更新时间:2008-12-20 08:42:00
一、情态动词的定义
情态动词是一种本身有一定的词义,表示说话人的情绪、态度或语气的动词,但不能单独作谓语,只能和其他动词原形构成谓语。
We can be there on time tomorrow.我们明天能按时去那儿。
May I have your name? 我能知道你的名字吗?
Shall we begin now? 我们现在就开始吗?
You must obey the school rules.你必须遵守校规。
情态动词数量不多,但用途广泛,主要有下列: can(could), may(might), must, need, ought to, dare(dared), shall(should), will(would).二、情态动词的位置
情态动词在句中放在谓语动词之前,谓语动词前若有助动词,则在助动词之前,疑问句中,情态动词放在主语之前。
I can see you.Come here.我能看见你,过来吧。
He must have been away.他一定走了。What can I do for you? 你要什么?
How dare you treat us like that!你怎么敢那样对待我们
三、情态动词的特点
情态动词无人称和数的变化,情态动词后面跟的动词需用原形,否定式构成是在情态动词后面加“not”。个别情态动词有现在式和过去式两种形式,过去式可以用来表达更加客气、委婉的语气,时态性不强,可用于过去,现在或将来。
He could be here soon.他很快就来。
We can't carry the heavy box.我们搬不动那箱子。
I'm sorry I can't help you.对不起,我帮不上你。
四、情态动词的用法
1.can(could)表示说话人能, 可以, 同意, 准许, 以及客观条件许可, could 为
can 的过去式。
Can you pass me the books? 你能给我递一下书吗 ? Could you help me, please? 请问, 你能帮助我吗? What can you do? 你能干点什么呢? Can you be sure? 你有把握吗?
can 和could 只能用于现在式和过去式两种时态,将来时态用be able to 来表示。
He could help us at all.他完全可以帮助我们。With the teacher‟s help, I shall be able to speak English correctly.有老师的帮助, 我将能准确地讲英语。
2.may(might)“可以”,表示说话人同意,许可或请求对方许可。
You may take the book home.你可以把书带回家去。
May I come in? 我可以进来吗?
May I use your dictionary? 我可以用你的词典吗? You may put on more clothes.你可以多穿点衣服。
He said he might lend us some money.他说他可以借给我们一些钱。
may 否定式为 may not, 缩写形式是 mayn‟t。might 是may 的过去式,有两种用法,一种表示过去式,一种表示虚拟语气,使语气更加委婉、客气或对可能性的怀疑。
He told me he might be here on time.他说他能按时间来。
Might I borrow some money now? 我可以借点钱吗? He might be alive.他可能还活着。
3.must “必须;应该;一定;准是”,表示说话人认为有必要做某事,命令、要求别人做某事以及对事物的推测。must 用来指一般现在时和一般将来时,过去式可用 have to 的过去式代替。
I must finish my work today.我今天必须完成我的工作。
You mustn't work all the time.你不能老是工作。
Must I return the book tomorrow? 我必须明天还书吗?
After such a long walk, you must be tired.走了这么长的路, 你一定累了。He must be the man I am looking for.他一定是我要找的人。

值得注意的是:
(1)must + have + 过去分词,表示现在对过去事物的推测。
He must have told my parents about it.他一定把这件事情告诉我父母亲了。
He must have received my letter now.他现在一定收到我的信了。
It's six o'clock already, we must have been late again.已经六点钟了,我们一定又迟到了。
(2)must 和 have to 的区别: must 表示说话人的主观思想, have to “不得不,必须”,表示客观需要、客观条件只能如此。
You must do it now.你必需现在就干。(说话人认为必须现在干)
I have to go now.我得走了。(客观条件必须现在走)
You must be here on time next time.你下次一定要按时来。

4.need “需要”,多用在否定式或疑问句中.Need I attend the meeting tomorrow? 我需要明天参加会议吗? You need not hand in the paper this week.这一周你不必交论文。
need 是一个情态动词,他的用法完全和其他情态动词一样,但 need 还可当作实义动词使用,这时 need 就象其他动词一样,有第三人称,单复数,后面加带 to 的动词等特性。
I need a bike to go to school.我上学需要一辆自行车。
Do you need a dictionary? 你需要词典吗? She needs a necklace.她需要一条项链。
注意:“needn„t + have + 过去分词” 表示过去做了没必要做的事情。
You needn't have taken it seriously.这件事情你不必太认真。
5.dare “敢”,多用在否定或疑问句中。
The little girl dare not speak in public.小女孩不敢在公众面前说话。
Dare you catch the little cat? 你敢抓小猫吗?
dare 除用作情态动词外,更多的是当实义动词使用,用法同实义动词一样,要考虑人称,单复数,时态等。
Do you dare to walk in the dark? 你敢黑夜走路吗?
He doesn't dare to tell the teacher what happened that day.他不敢告诉老师那天发生的事。
6.ought “应当;应该”,后面跟带有 to 的动词不定式。
You ought to read these books if you want to know how to repair the motorcar.如果你想知道如何修理汽车,你应该读这些书。
You ought to bring the child here.你应该把孩子带来。7.will(would)表决心、愿望。would 为 will 的过去式, 可用于各人称。
I'll do my best to catch up with them.我要尽全力赶上他们。
I'll never do it again, that's the last time.我再不会做那件事情了,这是最后一次。
He said he would help me.他说他会帮助我。
will, would用于疑问句表示说话人向对方提出请求或询问,用 would 比 will 更婉转,客气。
It's hot.Will you open the windows? 天气太热了,你能打开窗户吗? Will you help me to work it out? 你能帮我解这道题吗? Would you like some coffee? 给你来点咖啡怎样?
8.shall, should 表示命令, 警告, 允诺, 征求, 劝告, 建议, 惊奇。
You should hand in the exercise book.你应该交作业本儿了。

【典型例题】
1.—Do you think he will do me a favor ?
—As far as I know, he is the last one to help others.He _____ be prepared to give you a hand, though.A.might B.must C.can D.should 分析:本题考查情态动词推测性用法。根据he is the last one to help others.(他是最不可能帮助别人的人),既然如此,那么“帮助你”的可能性也就最小了。答案为A

—I think it ___ be Tom.—I don’t think it ___ be ____.A.can;must;can;he B.may;can;must;him
C.must;can;must;his D.might;must;can;himself
分析:根据备选答案。can表示推测时用于疑问句或否定句中。本题首句就应该是Guess who can it be? 第二句应该是I think it must be Tom.(说话人十分肯定)。第三句表达了说话人对前一个人的否定。即:I don’t think it can be him/he.(不可能是他)。答案为A
3.—Do you know Ms.Wang likes walking after supper ?
—Sure.She ____ around the campus now.A.must be walking B.must walk C.may walk D.may be walking

I _____ all the way here through the heavy snow.A.needn’t have driven B.can’t have driven C.mustn’t have driven D.shouldn’t have driven 分析:根据句意:你为什么不告诉我今天没有会?我本来没必要冒着大雪开车跑这么多路。Needn’t have done表示本来没必要。答案为A 6.I was really anxious about you.You _____ home without a word.A.mustn’t leave B.shouldn’t have left C.couldn’t have left D.needn’t leave
