问题: 情态动词

Could you tell me how use "can ,can't, must, mustn't, could ,couldn't, may ,might, need, needn't, have to , should , shouldn't, ought to " and how to dis tinguishthem ?

解答:

can ,能
can't, 不能
must, 必须
mustn't, 不允许
could ,可能(语气比can弱)(could可以看作是can的过去式,这两个词除了时态不相同外,在表达意思的许多方面是相同的。当然could也有自己独特的用法。)
couldn't,不可能
may ,可能,也许(语气比can弱,主语是第一人称)
might,可能,也许(might比 may语气更委婉,而不是过去式)
needn't, 不需要
have to , 不得不
should, 应该,本应该(实际上没有)should, ought to表示“应该”,ought to表示义务或责任,比should语气重。
shouldn't,不应该
ought to ,应该,必须,(语气最强烈,强制性)

情态动词两要点;动词原形跟后面,说话语气较委婉,can表"能力"may"许可",must"责任"或"义务",否定回答"needn't"换;should"应该",would"愿",have to "被迫"表客观.
