1. ought to的用法
(1) 表示責任和義務,意為“應該”,與should同義。
You ought to be more careful when you do some shopping on the Internet. 在網(wǎng)上購物時,你應該更小心些。
ought to的否定形式為ought not to / oughtnt to,一般疑問形式是將ought提至句首,其否定答語通常用dont have to或neednt。
You ought not to make this kind of mistake again. 你不應該再犯這種錯誤了。
—Ought he to see the doctor? 他該去看醫(yī)生嗎?
—Yes, he ought (to). / No, he doesnt have to / neednt. 是的,他該去。/不,他不必去。
(2) 表示可能性,一般指較大的可能性,意為“按道理應該”。
If he started at six, he ought to be here now. 要是他六點就出發(fā)的話,這會兒該到這里了。
2. have to的用法
have to意為“不得不”,有時態(tài)、人稱和數(shù)的變化,其否定形式和疑問形式需要借助于助動詞do。
It was raining outside; we had to stay at home. 下雨了,我們不得不待在家里。
【拓展】 have to & must
(1) 兩者都可意為“必須,應該”,但 have to 表示客觀的需要,而 must 表示說話人主觀上的看法,即主觀上的必要。
(2) have to有人稱、數(shù)和時態(tài)的變化,而 must 只有一種形式。
He had to look after his sister yesterday. 昨天他必須照顧他的妹妹。
My sister is ill; my mother has to look after her. 我妹妹生病了,媽媽不得不照顧她。
We must help each other. 我們必須互相幫助。
(3) 在否定結(jié)構(gòu)中,dont have to表示“不必”;mustnt表示“禁止,不許”。
You dont have to tell him about it. 你不必把此事告訴他。
(4) 在回答must 的一般疑問句時,肯定式常用must,表示“必須”;否定式常用need not / neednt或dont have to,表示“不必”。
3. need的用法
(1) need既可以作實義動詞,也可以作情態(tài)動詞。作情態(tài)動詞時,后跟動詞原形,表示“需要,有必要”,無人稱和數(shù)的變化,多用于否定句、疑問句或條件句中。
You neednt go there now. 你現(xiàn)在不必去那兒。
Need I go there now? 我現(xiàn)在需要去那兒嗎?
由need引導的一般疑問句的肯定回答常用must或have to;否定回答常用neednt或dont have to。
—Need I hand in my paper now? 我現(xiàn)在需要上交論文嗎?
—Yes, you must / have to. / No, you neednt / dont have to. 是的,你必須。/不,你不需要。
(2) need作為實義動詞,同其他實義動詞一樣,可用于各種句式,有時態(tài)、人稱、數(shù)的變化,構(gòu)成否定句和疑問句時要借助于助動詞do。
You need to be careful. 你得小心些。
You dont need to be so worried. 你不必如此擔心。
當need作實義動詞“需要”講時,其后跟不定式的被動形式相當于跟V-ing的主動形式,在這一點上,與want和require作“需要”講時一樣。
The house needs / wants / requires repairing / to be repaired. 這所房子需要修理。
4. dare的用法
(1) dare既可以作實義動詞,也可以作情態(tài)動詞。作情態(tài)動詞時多用于疑問句、否定句、條件狀語從句以及表示懷疑的名詞性從句中,過去式為dared,表示“敢……”。
I dare not walk through the wood at night. 夜間我不敢在小樹林里走。
(2) dare作實義動詞時,在否定句中不定式符號to也可以省略。
The children dont dare (to) make a sound while their parents are sleeping. 孩子們在父母睡覺時不敢弄出一點聲音。
5. 情態(tài)動詞+have done結(jié)構(gòu)的用法
(1) must have done表示對過去發(fā)生的事情所作出的合理或很有把握的推測,意為“想必/準是/一定……”,只用于肯定句中,在否定句或疑問句中通常被can / cant+have done代替。
From what you said, she must have told you all about it. 從你所說的來看,她一定把一切都告訴你了。
(2) can have done一般用于疑問句和否定句中,用于表示對過去所發(fā)生事情的推測。could have done用于肯定句時,表示“可能已經(jīng)做過某事”或“本有能力做某事而未做”。
Mr Smith cant have gone to Beijing, for I saw him in the library just now. 史密斯先生不可能去北京了,我剛才還在圖書館看見他了。
(3) should / ought to have done表示“過去本應該做某事而(實際上)沒有做”,含有責備或遺憾的語氣;其否定形式表示“某種行為不該發(fā)生卻發(fā)生了”。
You should have done more exercise before. 以前你應該多進行鍛煉的。
(4) need have done表示“本需要做而實際未做”;neednt have done表示“本不必做某事而實際做了”。
As it turned out to be a small house party, we neednt have dressed up so formally. 最后證實那是一個小型的家庭聚會,我們本來沒必要盛裝打扮的。
(5) may / might have done表示對過去發(fā)生的事情的推測,意思是“也許已經(jīng)做了某事,可能已經(jīng)做了某事”,多用在肯定句中,用might時表示語氣更加不肯定。
You might have read about it in the papers. 你可能已經(jīng)在報上看過這個消息了。
