老师,我知道can只用于一般时,但may,must是否只能用于一般时呢, 是否可以说I must do my homework last night. He may telephone tomorrow.
解题思路: 情态动词
解题过程:
may ,must 不仅仅用于现在时,也可用于将来时或过去时。
I must do my homework last night.
He may telephone tomorrow.
这两句话都是对的。

情 态 动 词 的 时 态

英语中情态动词也象行为动词一样,具有时态的变化。现根据情态动词的功能分述如下:

一、“能力”表示现在或将来的“能力”用can + 动词原形;表示过去的“能力”用could + 动词原形:

A computer can’t think for itself , it must be told what to do .

Can you join us tomorrow?

He could speak five languages when he was young .

表示将来的“能力”时用shall / will be able to 更能把时间关系表示明确。

二、“允许”表示现在或将来的“许可”,陈述句中用 can / may(不用could / might )+动词原形,疑问句中用can /could / may / might +动词原形;表示过去的“许可”用could / might + 动词原形:

Could / Might / Can / May / I borrow your umbrella?

You may / can watch TV after you finish your homework .

He said I could go with him .

三、“禁止”表示现在的“禁止”用can't / mustn't / may not + 动词原形;表示过去的“禁止”用couldn't / mustn't +动词原形:

The guard said we mustn't / couldn't crossthe border.

You mustn't / can't / may not pick any flowers in the garden .

四、“必须”表示现在或将来的“必须”用must + 动词原形;表示过去的“必须”用had to / must +动词原形:

We must go early tomorrow .

Must we do it now?

She told me that she must / had to warn me of the danger .

五、“可能”表示现在或将来可能用can / could /may / might have + 过去分词;表示可能正在进行用can / could / may / might be + 现在分词:

He may / might / could leave tomorrow .

Might / Could / Can this be true?

He may not / mightn't /can't /couldn't have been at home last night .

They can't be working in the fields.

情态动词表示“可能”时,can 一般不用于肯定句,may 一般不用于疑问句,may not / mightn’t 表示“可能不”,can’t 表示“不可能”。

六、“肯定”表示现在肯定用must + 动词原形;表示过去肯定用must have + 过去分词;表示肯定正在进行用must be + 现在分词:

Jan’s light is on .She must be at home .

It must have rained last night ,for the ground is wet .

They must be reading in the reading room .

must 表示“肯定”时不能用于否定句,也不能表示将来。指将来肯定用be sure to :

He is sure to come tomorrow.

七、“必要”和“不必”表示现在或将来“必要(不必)”用need(n’t ) + 动词原形;表示过去用need (n’t )have + 过去分词;表示正在进行用need ( n’t ) be + 现在分词:

Need I clean the room today ?

Need you have told him about my plans ? 你把我的计划告诉了他有这个必要吗?

You needn’t have gone there . 你本不必去那儿的。

need 一般不用于肯定句need(n’t ) have + 过去分词与didn’t need + 不定式含义有所不同,前者表示某事过去没有必要做但却做了,后者表示某事不必要做(不论是否做了)。试比较:

A : I’ve brought my recorder.

B : But I’ve already got one .

A : Oh , so I needn’t have brought it .

A : I started off to walk , but Peter gave me a lift .

B : Oh , so you didn’t need to walk after all .

八、“(不)应该”表示现在或将来(不)应该做某事用should(n't ) / ought ( n't ) to + 动词原形;表示过去本该或不该做了某事用should (n't) / ought (n't ) to + have +过去分词;表示应该或不该正在做某事用should ( n' t ) / ought (n't ) to + have + 过去分词:

You ought to / should have helped him yesterday.

We should / ought to help each other .

He shouldn't / oughtn't to have cheated in the exam .

This is what I should / ought to be doing .

九、“(不)敢”表示现在“(不)敢”用dare + 动词原形;表示过去“(不)敢”用dare (d) + 动词原形,或dare have + 过去分词:

Dare you do it ?

I daren't ask you because I thought I must be wrong .

I didn't like their new house , though I daren't have said so .

dare 作为情态动词一般不用于肯定句。

十、“习惯”表示现在的习惯用will + 动词原形;表示过去的习惯用would / used to + 动词原形:

He used to / would get up at five when he lived with us .

In fine weather he will often sit in the sun for hours .
