1.ExplainforSsthegrammarpoint:themodalverb
(1can/could可以表示能力、许诺、请求或某种可能性，could还可用于：①提出委婉的请求，（注意在回答中不可用could）。例如：—CouldIhavethetelevisionon?我能看电视吗？—Yes,youcan./No,youcan't.可以/不可以。②在否定句、疑问句中表示推测或怀疑。例如：Hecouldn'tbeabadman.他不大可能是坏人
(2may/might表示允许或请求；表示没有把握的推测；may放在句首，表示祝愿。might表示推测时，不表示时态，只是可能性比may小。
(3will/would克表示请求、许诺、同意、过去的习惯等。但需要注意：①wouldlike；wouldliketodo=wantto想要，为固定搭配。例如：Wouldyouliketogowithme?想和我一块去吗？
②Willyou…?Wouldyoulike…?表示肯定含义的请求劝说时，疑问句中一般用some,
而不是any。例如：
Wouldyoulikesomecake?吃点蛋糕吧。
③否定结构中用will，一般不用would,won'tyou是一种委婉语气。Won'tyousitdown?你不坐下吗？
(4shall/should可以表示推测、判断或建议。shall指现在，should指过去。
(5must/can’t指推测或猜想must用在肯定句中表示较有把握的推测，意为“一定”，否定推测用can't。
