Unit6 情态动词与虚拟语气
第一章 情态动词
📖 情态动词就是表示情绪和态度的动词,虽然也叫做动词啦,但必须作为实义动词的小跟班而存在。
🍓 情态动词没有人称的变化,不需要考虑三单
📏 结构: 情态动词+动词原形
常见的情态动词
| Can | Could |
|---|---|
| may | might |
| should | would |
| ought to | must |
| have to | need |
| dare |
🍎 Can Could
1️⃣ 表能力
🌟 I believe I can fly.
🌟 She could skate before she broke her leg.
2️⃣ 表请求、允许
🌟 Can you give me 10 bucks?
表示请求时,could比can更加礼貌和委婉
3️⃣ 表猜测
🌟 Can it be true?
🌟 It can’t be true.
啊值得注意的是,can’t表示不太可能,而不是不可能
4️⃣ 虚拟语气
在虚拟语气中,我们用could而不用can !
could have done表示和过去的事情相反,也就是本可以做到,却没做,有惋惜、遗憾之情
🌟 You could have told her the truth.
🌟 You couldn’t have told her the truth.
5️⃣ Can与be able to
be able to适用于各个时态,而且在一定的条件(金钱、资源、机会下)做成某事,用的是be able to
🌟 He didn’t agree with me at first but I was able to persuade him.
🍎 may might
1️⃣ 表请求、允许
🌟 You may not take my stuffed animal.
⭐ May I take the book?
🌟 Yes, you may. / Yes, you can. / No, you can’t. / I’m afraid not. / You’d better not.
在委婉程度上,might会更高一些
2️⃣ 表示猜测可能性
🌟 He may be at home. ( 50 percent )
🌟 He might be at home. ( 30 percent )
包括对过去的推测:
🌟 He might have given you more help, even though he was very busy.
3️⃣ 虚拟语气
用might不用may
might have done 表示 本可以做,却没有做 有责怪的意思。
🌟 She might have had her hair cut by an experienced hairdresser.
🍎 should ought to
1️⃣ 表义务,应该
should 常用于一般情况;ought to 则更多用于特殊情况。

🌟 I must have done something good.
🍎 need
1️⃣ 情态动词

2️⃣ 实义动词
此时一般跟to连在一起!need to do sth.表示有义务或责任做某事。

2️⃣ 实义动词
此时,需要考虑人称与时态,跟need一样,常常跟to连用。
🌟 She dares to use the F-word in front of the kids!
在否定句和疑问句中,可以不带to
🌟 He didn’t dare (to) tell her his feelings.
第二章 虚拟语气
🏷️ 跟事实相反的语法现象,就叫做虚拟语气。
一、if引导的虚拟语气
| If从句 | 主句 |
|---|---|
| 一般过去时 did | would / should do |
🌟 If I had 1 million dollars, I would build a school.
🌟 If I were you, I should ask him out.
✏️ 如果我是你,我就约他出去了
🌟 If I were 17, I would not make my school life miserable.
🐽 值得注意的是,should在这里并没有情态动词中应该的意思,而是shall的过去时。一般用于第一人称做主语。
🐷 如果if从句带有be动词,不需要考虑人称和单复数啦,直接were!
我们可以发现,虚拟语气在表达与现在的事实相反时,用的全是过去时。可以理解为两个平行时空的交错点在现在之前~
🍎 与过去事实相反
| If 从句 | 主句 |
|---|---|
| 过去完成时 had done | would / should have done |
🌟 If his father hadn’t interfered, we would have been married.
🌟 If Dad had kept a healthy lifestyle, he would not have had a heart disease.
诶嘿,这个时间点还在过去之前,所以要用过去完成时~
🍎 与将来事实相反
| If 从句 | 主句 |
|---|---|
| 一般过去时 did | would / should do |
| were to do | |
| should do |
🌟 If you were to see someone in the office, you career would be ruined.
🌟 If it should rain tomorrow, my road test would be doomed to failure.
🌟 If my neighbor walked his dog this evening, I should ask him to mop my porch.
如何理解将来相反呢?你说它还没发生呀,咋相反捏?别急,这是带有较强的主观判断的✔️ !
也就是说,用上了带有将来虚拟语气的if从句,那么主句的事情很可能不会发生!而如果觉得主句很有可能发生,那么就用普通的if引导的条件状语从句好啦!区别在于主将从现!
🔈 If I were to get up early, I would spend my time studying.
✏️ If I get up early, I will spend my time on English.
注意将来的时间点还是在过去哦(强行解释ing)
二、if从句倒装
有个十分抽象的栗子:
把三种情况提前,也就是把我梳头提前
🌏 现在相反
🔈 If I were you, I should ask him out.
➡️ Were I you, I should ask him out.
结构
- 去掉
if were提前- 其他照搬
🌍 过去相反
🔈 If they hadn’t argued, the woman wouldn’t have died.
➡️ Had they not argued, the woman wouldn’t have died.
结构
- 去掉
if had提前- 其他照搬,
not不缩写
🌎 将来相反
🔈 If it should rain tomorrow, my road test would be doomed to failure.
➡️ Should it rain tomorrow, my road test would be doomed to failure.
结构
- 去掉
if should提前- 其他照搬,
not不缩写
呐呐呐,啥时候要倒装呀!
当然是把
if省略的情况啦!
倒装是将信息重点后移,一般强调主语。
三、虚拟语气动词
要是遇上以下这几个大佬做谓语,后面的宾语从句必须小心翼翼地用上虚拟语气!
| 类型 | 动词 |
|---|---|
| 表建议 | advise, suggest, propose, recommend |
| 表要求/请求 | insist, demand, request, urge |
| 表愿望 | wish, desire, prefer |
| 表命令 | order, command, direct |
| 表决定 | decide, determine, resolve |
