★Key structures
“推測”
對什么時候的推測不在于must,may,can't是什么時態(tài)，而在于后面加的是原形還是have done
must,may,can't+動詞原形：對現(xiàn)在、未來的推測
must,may,can't+have done:對過去的推測
must:一定，很可能；may：有可能；can't：不可能

may的用法：
1.推測“可能”：might比may語氣弱
must>may>might>can't
2.可以：might比may委婉
May (Might) I...? 我可以……嗎？（只能和第一人稱連用）
Can(May) I...?
Can you...?
Could I...?(更委婉的說法）
