6、解决问题的关键。Must 用于肯定陈述句,表示肯定推测;can, could用于疑问或否定陈述句,表示可能性推测;may, might用于陈述句,表示可能性推测;用于否定陈述句中,cant (不可能)的语气比may not(可能不)强。此外,还要注意有对过去和对现在两种情况的推测,对过去推测用情态动词+have done ,对现在推测用情态动词+ 动词原形。 三、情态动词表示虚拟的考查 情态动词have+过去分词表示与过去事实上相反的情况,也是高考单项选择题涉及到情态动词的一个重要方面。 1.

8、ft D. neednt leave 3. Oh, Im not feeling well in the stomach. I_so much fried chicken just now.

9、e 这一句式上,表示本来不该做却做了或本来该做却未做的事,在复习时,还应关注其它几种虚拟形式,如need (not)have done 表示本来需要做而未做或本来不需要而做的事等等,以做到有备无患。 考点四、情态动词与助动词混合考查1.Tom ,you didnt come to the party last night?
