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。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) . 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, 情态动词则在主语之前。 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。 情态动词的用法: 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。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。 must + have + 过去分词,表示现在对过去事物的推测。 must 和 have to 的区别: must 表示说话人的主观思想, have to 表示客观需要。 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。 needn't + have + 过去分词 表示过去做了没必要做的事情。 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。 ought 应当,应该 后面跟带有 to 的动词不定式。 ought + to have done 句型。指过去动作,表示一件事情该做而未做。 ought not to have done 句型。表示一件不该做的事情却做了。 will (would)决心,愿望。 would 为 will 的过去式, 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。 Shall, should表示命令,警告,允诺,征求,劝告,建议惊奇。 have to,不得不,必须,表示客观条件只能如此, 而must 则表示主观思想必须。

情态动词 (Model Verbs) 又称为情态助动词 (Model Auxil-iaries)。英语中助动词主要有两类:一是基本助动词,如have, do, be;二是情态助动词,如may, must, need等。情态动词与其他动词连用表示说话人的语气。情态动词可表达建议、要求、可能和意愿等。情态动词没有人称和数的变化。在大学英语四、六级考试中,情态动词部分重点测试以下内容: (1)情态动词+行为动词完成式 (2)情态动词+行为动词进行式 (3)情态动词+行为动词完成进行式 (4)某些情态动词的特殊用法 一、情态动词+行为动词完成式 情态动词+行为动词完成式即“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。 1. must have v-ed must have v-ed 表示推测过去某事“一定”发生了。其否定形式为:can’t / couldn’t have v-ed, 表示过去不可能发生某事。例如: 1)Since the ditch is full of water, it must have rained last night. 2)You couldn’t have met my grandmother. She died before you were born. 2. could have v-ed could have v-ed 表示推测过去某动作“很可能”发生了。例如: 1)“The dictionary has disappeared. Who could have taken it?” 2)“Tom could have taken it. He was alone yesterday.” 3.may / might have v-ed may / might have v-ed 表示推测过去某事“也许”发生了.may 比 might 表示的可能性在说话人看来稍大些。例如: I can’t find my keys. I may / might have left them at the school yesterday. 4. ought to / should have v-ed 和 ought not to / shouldn’t have v-ed ought to / should have v-ed 和 ought not to / shouldn’t have v-ed 用于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: 1)With all the work finished, I should have gone to the party last night. 2)You ought not to make fun of him. He is not the one you laugh at but learn from. 5. 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 waken me up; I don’t have to go to work today. 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。例如: “I wonder how Tom knew about your past.” “He must / could / may / might have heard of it from Mary.” 二、情态动词+行为动词进行式 情态动词+行为动词进行式(即情态动词+ be + v-ing形式),表示推测或评论某动作现在是否正在进行。例如: 1)He must be playing basketball in the room. 2)She may be staying at home. 三、情态动词+行为动词完成进行式 情态动词+行为动词完成进行式(即情态动词+ have been + v-ing 形式),表示推测或评论过去某动作是否正在进行或一直在进行。例如: 1)They should have been meeting to discuss the problem. 2)He may / might have been buying stamps in the post office when you saw him. 四、某些情态动词的特殊用法 1. need 考试中主要测试 need 作情态动词与作实义动词的区别,对此,可参见表1.need 作情态动词时,后面跟不带to 的动词不定式,即 “need to”。通常用在疑问句和否定句中,表示询问是否有“必要”,其否定形式为needn’t,表示“不必”;疑问形式为 Need … do? 极少用于肯定句。例如: 1)I don’t think we need turn the light on at that time. 2)Need you ride a bike to school? 情态动词need与实义动词need 在时态、肯定、否定结构上的对比见表1。 2. dare 考试中主要测试dare作情态动词和作实义动词的区别。 情态动词dare 与实义动词dare 在时态、肯定、否定、疑问结构上的对比见表2。 3. can 和 may 考试中主要测试can,may或could,might表示可能性的区别及对may构成的疑问句的回答。 时态 情态动词need 实义动词 need 现 You need (not) do You (don’t) need to do 在 时 He need (not) do He needs (doesn’t need) to do 过 You needed (didn’t need) to do 去 时 He needed (didn’t need) to do 将 You need (not) do You will (not) need to do 来 时 He need (not) do He will (not) need to do 句型 时态 动词 情态动词dare 实义动词 dare 肯定句 现在时 dare to 少用 dare/dares to do 过去时 dare to 少用 dared to do 否定句 现在时 daren’t/dare not do do/does not dare (to) do 过去时 dared not do did not dare (to) do 疑问句 现在时 Dare he do? Do you/Does he dear (to) do? 过去时 Dared he do? Did he dare (to) do (1)can, could, may, might都可以表示可能性.can, could表示潜在的可能性或理论上或逻辑判断上存在的可能性;而may, might则表示事实上的可能性。此外,can还具有“有能力”的意思,而may与might则不具此意。例如: 1)According to the weather forecast, it may rain tomorrow. 2) Any man with a little sense can see that he is wrong. (2)May I / we …?这一类疑问句的肯定回答为Yes, please.或Certainly;否定回答为Please don’t.或No, you mustn’t. 例如: “May we leave now?” “No, you mustn’t. You haven’t finished your home work yet.” 4. can 和 be able to can 与 be able to 都可以表示能力,但两者在用法上有点差异:can (could)表示主观能力,不表示意愿,它的将来时用will be able to; be able to表示主观意愿,强调要克服困难去做某事。例如: 1)My grandma is over seventy, but she can still read without glasses. 2)He is able to give up his bad habits. 5. must 和 have to must 和 have to 都可以表示“必须”,但有几点区别: (1)must 强调“内在的职责”、“义务”,而have to 强调“外界压力”、“不得已而为之”。 (2)have to可用于多种时态,而must一般用于现在时,其过去时与将来时分别由had to与shall / will have to代替。 (3)在回答must引起的问题时,如果是否定的答复,不能用mustn’t,而要用needn’t或don’t have to,因为mustn’t是“一定不要”、“一定不能”的意思。例如: 1)You must come to the classroom before eight. 2)It is raining hard outside, but I have to leave now. 3)“Must we do it now?” “No, you needn’t.” 6. used to +v, be used to +v-ing和be used to +v (1)used to +v意为“过去常常”,“过去一直”;be used to +v-ing / n(名词)意为“习惯于”;be used to +v意为“被用来(做某事)”。 (2)used to只表示过去,而be used to +v-ing / n可表示现在、过去或将来。例如: 1)He used to smoke. Now he doesn’t. 2)He’s quite used to hard work / working hard. 3)The knife is used to cut bread. 7.用作情态动词的其他短语 would rather, would sooner, would (just) as soon, had rather, had better, had sooner, can not but, may (just) as well等可用作情态动词。例如: 1)The soldier would sooner die than surrender. 2)The brave soldier would as soon die as yield to such an enemy. 3)I’d rather walk than take a bus. 4)If you don’t like to swim, you may just as well stay at home. 注:这些短语后一般直接跟动词原形.would (had) rather, would (had) sooner, would (just) as soon后可跟that 引导的从句,that 常省去,从句要用虚拟语气。对现在和将来的假设用过去时,对过去的假设用过去完成时。例如: 1)I would rather you came on Sunday. 2)I would sooner you hadn’t asked me to speak yesterday.

很多同学都听过情态动词,那么在英语中情态动词指的是什么?有哪些用法?大家一起来看看吧。
情态动词(Modal verbs)本身有一定的词义,表示语气的单词。但是不能独立作谓语,只能和动词原形一起构成谓语。情态动词用在行为动词前,表示说话人对这一动作或状态的看法或主观设想。 情态动词虽然数量不多,但用途广泛,主要有下列: can (could), may (might), must, need, ought to, dare (dared), shall (should), will (would) must
①只做情态动词:may, might, must…
②可做情态动词又可做实义动词:如:need, dare…
③具有情态动词特征:have(had,has) to,used to, ought to
④可做情态动词又可作助动词:如:shall(should),will(would)
⒈ 在表示愿望的动词wish后的宾语从句中,需用虚拟语气.(wish后的that 常省略),根据主句时态,从句谓语时态相应退后一位,例如:How she wished his family could go with him.
⒉ 在具有愿望、请求、建议、命令等主观意愿的动词(desire, demand, advice, insist, require, suggest, propose, order, recommend, decide …) 后的宾语从句中需用虚拟语气.谓语动词用(should) +动词原形.值得注意的是,如果宾语从句的动词是否定的,否定词not的位置应在动词之前,而不是动词之后.例如:The head nurse insisted that the patient not be move.另外,如suggest表达“暗示”,insist表示“坚持某种说法”时,后面的从句不用虚拟语气,例如:Her pale face suggests that she is ill.或He insisted that he did not kill the boy.
