语法---情态动词表示推测用法
用法:
1)must表示我们对某事很有把握,从逻辑上看是必然的,它只能用于肯定的陈述句中。在疑问句和否定句中,通常用can和can’t。
①John said the professor must be at least seventy, but Peter thought he couldn't be as old as that.约翰说那位教授至少有70岁,但彼得认为他不可能有那样老。
②He can't have been to your home. He doesn't know your address.他肯定没去过你家,他还不知道你的地址呢。
2)can和may表示推测时,语气较弱。在肯定句中,can常用来表示客观的逻辑上的可能性;而may表示事实上的可能性。如:
①Anyone can make mistakes.人人都会犯错误。
②He looks pale. He may be ill.他脸色苍白,可能病了。
在疑问句中,通常用can,不用may
-Can they have missed the bus? -Yes, they may have.
“他们会错过公共汽车吗?”“是的,也许会。”
3)can和may都可用于否定句,但含义不同。
can not表示“不可能”;may not表示“可能不”。
①She may not tell lies.她也许没有说谎。
②He can’t be her father; he is too young. 他不可能是她的父亲,他太年轻了。
