下面我們換一個方式作練習(xí). 由學(xué)生問老師: "我能作什么呢?" 然后老師提出一 個詞組, 請學(xué)生用這個詞組來回答問題. 我先舉一個例子:

F: What can I do?

M: join the gymnastics team

F: I can join the gymnastics team.

M: join the track team

F: I can join the track team.

好, 現(xiàn)在我們開始做練習(xí):

F: What can I do?

M: join the gymnastics team

F: I can join the gymnastics team.

M: join the track team

F: I can join the track team.

M: drive a car

F: I can drive a car.

M: cook fancy dishes

F: I can cook fancy dishes.

M: speak English well

F: I can speak English well.

M: run fast

F: I can run fast.

M: sing an American song

F: I can sing an American song.

三.MAY 和 MIGHT

學(xué)完了 can 的用法, 現(xiàn)在我們看看怎么用助動詞 may 和 might. 這兩個字都表示 將來事情可能發(fā)生,在句子里可以交換使用.比方 "將來彼得可能成為職業(yè)選手" 這句話可以這么說: Peter may become a professional player. 也可以這么說:

Peter might become a professional player.

好, 下面我們來作一組練習(xí). 練習(xí)的內(nèi)容都是說彼得將來可能有什么成就. 現(xiàn)在 我們請英文老師提出一個用 may 這個字的句子, 請學(xué)生用might 這個字來代替.

在學(xué)生作練習(xí)的時候也請你跟著作.

M: Peter may become a professional player.

F: Peter might become a professional player.

M: Peter may become a sport star.

F: Peter might become a sport star.

M: Peter may play in the Olympic Games.

F: Peter might play in the Olympic Games.

下面我們來看一看瑪麗將來可能有什么成就. 還是請你照樣跟著練習(xí).

M: Mary may become a professional singer.

F: Mary might become a professional singer.

M: Mary may have a career in singing.

F: Mary might have a career in singing.

M: Mary may sing in a concert.

F: Mary might sing in a concert.

四.用 MAY 表請求

剛才我們學(xué)習(xí)了 can 跟 can't, 還有 may 跟 might 的用法, 下面我們要學(xué)習(xí) may 的另外一種用法. may 這個字除了可以表示可能性之外還可以用來表示允許或 是請求.
