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,couldcan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 Canbe 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.

might不用may

might have done 表示 本可以做,却没有做 有责怪的意思。

🍎 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。

3️⃣ 虚拟语气

本不该做某事,却做了。

🔈 must have done 表示过去肯定做过

🌟 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。

🌟 I dare not move!

🌟 Dare you answer me when I call your name?

🌟 I wonder whether he dare tell the truth.


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:

image-20220816005222979

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!
