情态动词是什么?
情态动词是助动词,它们以不规则方式变化,在英语中使用频繁。它们用于赋予句子意义,因为根据所用的情态动词,句子可能有不同的含义。也就是说,它们总是与主要动词搭配使用。
情态动词的特点
情态动词总是具有以下特点:
1. 修饰其他动词
它们的主要作用是陪伴主要动词并赋予句子意义。
2. 不进行变位
这意味着情态动词总是与不带 to 的不定式搭配使用。
3. 没有动名词形式
不存在 coulding, musting。
4. 没有过去分词
在完成时中使用过去分词的是主要动词,而非情态动词,也就是说,不存在 musted, mayed 等。
5. 不需要助动词
情态动词作为助动词,构成否定句或疑问句时不需要其他动词。
