2、eekend.（实际可能性）3 Peter might come to join us.(实际可能性) 表示请求和允许。1 Can we turn the air conditioner on?否定句中表推测“不可能”1He cant be at home.表示惊异、怀疑、不相信等态度，主要用在否定句、疑问句和感叹句中。1 Can this be an excuse for not giving them help?2 How can you be so crazy.特别说明：（1） could用来表示请求时，语气委婉，主要用于疑问句，不能用于肯定句，答语应用can（即：could不能用于现在

3、时态的简略答语中）。如：Could I use your dictionary?Yes, you can.(否定回答可用：No, Im afraid not.)(2) can和be able to辨析can(could)和be able to都可以表示能力，意思上没有区别。但can只有现在式和过去式，而be able to则有更多的形式。如：Ive always wanted to able to speak fluent English.Those bags look really heavy, are you sure youll be able to carry them on your

6、ou mustnt(或No, youd better not.)表示请求、允许时，1 May I borrow your pen?表示可能性的推测，通常用在肯定句和否定句中，含有“或许”“大概”“可能”之意；1 It may rain this afternoon.2 She may not be at home.may用于祈使句表示祝愿1 May you succeed.2 Long may he live! 愿他能持续住下去。3 May you have many more days as happy as this one.4 May she rest in peace.愿她安息。惯用句

7、式：“may as well或might(just)as well+动词原形”意为“最好，满可以，倒不如”，相当于“had better或there is no reason to do anything else.1 There is nothing to do, so I may as well go to bed.二must和have to情态动词用法例句must1.表示“必须，应该”之意，语气比should，ought to强烈。其否定形式mustnt表示“不准，不应该，禁止”等意1 You must come to school on time.2 You mustnt drive
