七年级下册（1）情态动词常见的情态动词：can, could, may, might, must, should, need, had better have to等含义：表示说话人对所述动作的看法，如需要、可能、意愿或怀疑等。

1．用法特点：⑴它们必须与其他动词连用，即：肯定：情态动词＋动词原形：He can swim.否定：情态动词+not+动词原形：He can not(can’t)swim.一般疑问句：把情态动词提前：Can he swim?Yes,he can./No,he can’t.表示说话人对所述动作的看法，如需要、可能、意愿或怀疑等。

⑵情态动词没有人称和数的变化，即第三人称单数不加-s，有些情态动词有时态的变化⑶在意义上，情态动词具有“多义性”。

例：can既可表示能力，又可表示可能、允许等意义。

2.各情态动词的用法（1）can：表能力，“能，会”；表可能，猜测，通常用于否定句和疑问句中，This boat can’t be hers, hers is black.（2）could：表can的过去式；表请求允许，比can更委婉地提出请求。

（3）May: 表猜测，“可能”（只能用于肯定句，否定句用can’t）表征求同意，May I come in?（4）Might: may的过去式；might比may更加委婉。

（5）Must: 表义务的“必须”表事情的必要性和重要性。

You must take care of your parents. 表推测的“一定，准是”（只有肯定猜测，否定猜测用can’t）The lady must be a doctor.（6）Should: 表义务或责任“应该”。

（7）Need: 表必要性。

（8）Would: will的过去式；表示意愿或用于第二人称的疑问句中，表礼貌委婉的请求，比can更委婉。

（9）Had better: 最好，（had better not）3．易混的情态动词（1）Can/ could 与be able to: 表“能力”时can只有现在和过去时两种时态，其余时态用be able to,can指与生俱来的能力，be able to后天形成的能力。
