共有的概念 “推測(cè)”
十七課 : 對(duì)現(xiàn)在的推測(cè)
十九課 : 對(duì)現(xiàn)在和過(guò)去的推測(cè)
不在于must,may,can't是什么時(shí)態(tài), 而在于后面加的是原形還是have done.
加原形是對(duì)現(xiàn)在的推測(cè), 加have done對(duì)過(guò)去的推測(cè).
may : ⑴推測(cè) “可能”
⑵ “可以” May I do sth.? 我可以做某事嗎?
⑶ may,might(can,could) 對(duì)語(yǔ)氣的強(qiáng)弱
I. 除了 “might” “could” 是 “may” “can” 的過(guò)去式的概念外
II. 在表達(dá) “可以... 嗎?” 時(shí), 可以用 “might” “could” 替換 “may” “can” , 而區(qū)別在于語(yǔ)氣上更委婉些
III. 在表示 “推測(cè)” 句型中, 并不用 “might” “could” 來(lái)表示對(duì)過(guò)去的推測(cè), 只能是 “推測(cè)” 的可能性比 “may” “can” 更小些的意思, must->may->might->can’t(推測(cè)的可能性語(yǔ)氣下降)
may as well=might as well “還是...好”
上述所講是對(duì)現(xiàn)在和未來(lái)的推測(cè), 對(duì)過(guò)去的推測(cè)要用虛擬語(yǔ)氣
