第四課 助動詞 can, may, will 等
一.本課要點及示例
在這一課里我們要學習怎么用助動詞 can, c-a-n, can, may, m-a-y, may, will, w-i-l-l, will 和 might, m-i-g-h-t, might.
首先我們依照慣例, 先請你聽一段對話, 內容是說 peter 在學校里跟同學 Mary 談到了學校里的活動. 我們還是先用自然速度念一遍, 請你注意聽英文老師的 發音和聲調.
M: Hi, Mary.
F: Oh, hello, Peter. How are you?
M: I'm fine. Can you have a cup of coffee with me?
F: I can't now. I have an exam tomorrow. I have to study for it.
M: You're taking a lot of courses this year.
F: I might drop some of them. Are you still with the football team?
M: Yes, we will play a game this Friday.
F: May I go to see you play?
M: Yes, of course.
F: I hope the weather will be sunny Friday.
M: I hope so, too.
現在我們用慢速度再把這段對話念一遍.
M: Hi, Mary.
F: Oh, hello, Peter. How are you?
M: I'm fine. Can you have a cup of coffee with me?
F: I can't now. I have an exam tomorrow. I have to study for it.
M: You're taking too many courses this year.
F: I might drop some of them. Are you still with the football team?
M: Yes, we will play a game this Friday.
F: May I go to see you play?
M: Yes, of course.
F: I hope the weather will be sunny Friday.
M: I hope so, too.
現在我把剛才那段會話里包含了助動詞的句子挑出來, 用慢速度再念一遍給你 聽.
M: Can you have a cup of coffee with me?
F: I can't now.
M: I might drop some of them.
M: We will play a game this Friday.
F: May I go to see you play?
F: I hope the weather will be sunny Friday.
二.CAN
首先我們學習怎么用 can, c-a-n, can. 這個字表示 "有能力" 作一件事. 它的否定 式是 cannot, c-a-n-n-o-t, cannot, 可以減縮為 can't, 意思當然就是說 "沒有能力" 作一件事. 在第一組練習里, 我們給你舉一些例子, 說 Peter 和 Mary 能作什么 事而不能作什么事. 每個句子我們念兩次, 在念第二次的時候請你也跟著念.
M: Peter can have a cup of coffee but Mary can't.
F: Peter can have a cup of coffee but Mary can't.
M: Peter can play football but Mary can't.
F: Peter can play football but Mary can't.
M: Peter can swim but Mary can't.
F: Peter can swim but Mary can't.
M: Mary can dance but Peter can't.
F: Mary can dance but Peter can't.
M: Mary can sing but Peter can't.
F: Mary can sing but Peter can't.
M: Mary can speak French but Peter can't.
F: Mary can speak French but Peter can't.
