CanIborrowyourdictionary?2.用在过去时句子中只能用could.Icouldn’tswimwellwhenIwasakidbutnowIamagoodswimmer. Attheageoften,Icouldrememberthingsveryquickly3.表示允许别人做某事只能用can，不能用could。二、maymightmay的用法might的用法1.表示请求允许，语气较委婉(但并不表示过去)；如：1)Might（may)Itakethisbookout?”“Yes,youmay.”(由于答语是表示给予允许，可用may，但不能用might)2)Youmaytakemydictionaryaslongasyoudon’tkeepittoolong.(不用might)2.表示推测时,might并非表示过去，比may语气更不确定，表示的可能性更小，有时可用于疑问句的句首。1）Youmightbeabletopersuadehim.你也许能说服他。2）Mightitraintonight?今晚会下雨吗?三、willwould四、shallshould1.shall用于句型“ShallI/wedo…?”Shallwegettogetherandhaveapartytonight?ShallItellyouhowtodoit?2.should用来表示建议、责任、义务时，可译为“应该，应当”，此时可用oughtto替换。Weshouldtryourbesttohelpeachother.=Weoughttotryourbesttohelpeachother. 五、must的用法haveto的用法【例题精讲】【例题1】A:Listen!IsProfessorJohnsongivingalessonintheclassroom?B:No,it______behim.HehasgonetoJapan.needn’tB.mustn’tC.can’tD.maynot【例题2】________Jackbeherenow?He________behere,butI’mnottoosure.A.Can;may
