Grammar (语法)

Using "Can" as a Modal Verb - 情态动词“Can”的用法(复习与拓展)

在本课中,“can”再次被用作情态动词,主要用于表达能力、请求许可,以及一些否定形式的表达。

1. 表达能力

句型结构:
主语 + can + 动词原形
示例:

  • Can she type this letter for me?
  • I can’t type this letter.
  • I can’t read it!

“can’t”是“can not”的缩写,用于表示不能或没有能力完成某事。

2. 请求许可

句型结构:
Can + 主语 + 动词原形 + ?
示例:

  • Can you come here a minute, please?
  • Can you type this letter for the boss, please?

3. 情态动词的语气区别

“Can”用于请求时,语气礼貌但较直接,可根据实际情况选择更正式的表达(如“Could you...?”)。
对比示例:

  • Can you type this letter? (直接请求)
  • Could you type this letter? (更礼貌)
