走出情态动词的误区 误区一：误情态动词的过去式为过去时态。 走出误区：情态动词除表示纯粹的过去时间外，还有两种独特的功能。 1．could，might和would在请求许可或征询对方意见时，比can，may和will更加委婉客气，并不表示过去时态。回答此类疑问句时易误选它们的过去式，实际上应该用原形或相应答语。请看例题： 1) ― Could I use your telephone? ― Yes, of course you ______. A. could?B. will??C. can????? D. might 2) ― Might I watch TV after supper? ― Yes, you ______. A. may????????? B. must??C. might?D. could 3) ― Would you do me a favor? ― ______. A. Yes, I would???B. With pleasure?????? C. No, I wouldn’t??D. Yes, go ahead Key:1-3 CAB 2． 表示推测的情态动词might和could比may和can推测的可能性更小，语气更加的不肯定，并不表示过去时态，对过去的推测应该是表推测的情态动词加完成式。请看例题： 1) Sorry, I’m late. I ______ have turned off the alarm clock and gone back to sleep again. A. might?B. should?C. can????? D. will 2) ― I heard they went skiing in the mountains last winter. ― It ______ true because there was little snow there. A. may not be??B. won’t be???????? C. couldn’t be??D. mustn’t be 3) ― Is there a movie on in the cinema? ― There ______ be. I’ll phone the cinema and find it out. A. might?B. should??? C. can? D. could Key:1-3 ACA 误区二：误情态动词+动词原形为情态动词+动词完成式。 走出误区：1.表示推测的情态动词can, could, may, might, ought to, should及must后接不定式一般式表示对现在的推测，后接不定式完成式表示对过去的推测（除ought to, should）。请看例题： 1) ― What do you think that noise was? ― It ______ a cat. A. must be?B. may be?????? C. might be?D. might have been 2) ― What do you think that noise is? ― It ______ a cat. A. must have been?B. can be?????C. might be??D. might have been Key:1. D? 2. C 2.情态动词should, ought to, needn’t, would rather, had better, might, could后接完成式，表示对过去所发生的事情的遗憾或责备，是虚拟语气的一种表达方式，它与过去事实并不相符。尤其注意might / could后接完成式除表示对过去的推测以外，还表示过去本可能做但却没有做，常用于肯定句，而may / can后接完成式仅表示对过去的推测。请看例题： 1) ― Jim! Did you have a good time at the party? ― Yes, but I really ______, because I had a lot of work to do. A. shouldn’t??B. shouldn’t have?????? C. needn’t??D. needn’t have 2) I ______ Tracy a visit, but I’m not sure whether I will have time this Sunday. A. could have paid?B. should have paid??? C. should pay??D. might pay Key:1. B 2. C 误区三：误“mus
