情态助动词,顾名思义,是帮助实义动词表达说话人的情感和态度的动词。

2018中高考英语核心语法情态动词讲解上

1. need/dare

1)need和dare既可以作实义动词(所以后能加实义动词的非谓语动词形式to do等)又可作情态助动词(所以可直接加实义动词原形do)

2)实义动词变否定时前加基本助动词do,情态助动词变否定时直接加not.

不需要做:doesn't need to do=needn't do

不敢做:doesn't dare to do=dare not do

2.must

1)必须(表义务和必要have to)。

---- Must we hand in our exercise books today?

----Yes, you must.

----No, you don’t have to =you needn’t.(不必)

注意:不能用musn't(绝不)回答,musn't表强烈禁止。

2)肯定(表示可能性大的推测,只用于肯定的陈述句)

You're Tom's good friend, so you must know what he likes best.

3)偏要,非得(表不悦不耐烦)

Must you make so much noise?

3.will/would

1)将会(表预测或临时决定≠be going to

I think it wont rain tomorrow.

注意:与前文时态难点1:一般将来时只能用will do?中be going to的辨析。

2)愿意(表意愿或执意≈be willing to

If he will pay by check, we have to accept it.

注意:will在此是情态助动词,表执意,不是表将来时,否则就不符合主将从现的规则了。

3)过去常常做…(used to do)

He would go swimming in this river when he was young.

注意:would只表动作,used to do可表动作或状态。

She used to be very shy when she was young.
