新一輪中考復(fù)習(xí)備考周期正式開始,中考網(wǎng)為各位初三考生整理了中考五大必考學(xué)科的知識(shí)點(diǎn),主要是對(duì)初中三年各學(xué)科知識(shí)點(diǎn)的梳理和細(xì)化,幫助各位考生理清知識(shí)脈絡(luò),熟悉答題思路,希望各位考生可以在考試中取得優(yōu)異成績!下面是《2018初中英語詞匯之may & might》,僅供參考!
1、May and might are both ways of expressing possibility.Is there a difference between the way in which they should be used?
May和might這兩個(gè)詞匯都是可能性的不同表達(dá)。它們使用方法是否有不同呢?
2、Some people insist that you should use may(present tense)when talking about a current situation and might(past tense)when talking about an event that happened in the past.For example:
有人認(rèn)為在談?wù)摦?dāng)前的情形時(shí)(現(xiàn)在時(shí)態(tài))應(yīng)該使用may,在談?wù)撨^去發(fā)生的事件時(shí)(過去時(shí)態(tài))應(yīng)使用might:
3、I may go home early if I’m tired.(present tense)
如果我覺的累了,我會(huì)早點(diǎn)回家。(現(xiàn)在時(shí)態(tài))
4、He might have visited Italy before settling in Nuremberg.(past tense)
在他定居紐倫堡之前他可能去過意大利。(過去時(shí)態(tài))
實(shí)際上,現(xiàn)在對(duì)這兩個(gè)詞的時(shí)態(tài)區(qū)分也已經(jīng)很少了,一般情況下這兩個(gè)詞語可以互相替換。比如上面兩個(gè)例句還可以這樣寫:
5、I might go home early if I’m tired.
如果我覺的累了,我會(huì)早點(diǎn)回家。
6、He may have visited Italy before settling in Nuremberg.
在他定居紐倫堡之前他可能去過意大利。
may和might有一些固定的區(qū)別:如果事情的真相在當(dāng)時(shí)并不知曉,這種情況用may和might都是可以的:
7、By the time you read this,he may have made his decision.
到你讀到它的時(shí)候,他可能已經(jīng)做了決定。
I think that comment might have offended some people.
我認(rèn)為這條評(píng)論可能會(huì)觸犯一些人。
如果一些事在說話時(shí)已確定沒有發(fā)生,這種情況最好用might:
8、The draw against Italy might have been a turning point,but it didn't turn out like that.
與意大利打成平局可能成為一個(gè)轉(zhuǎn)折點(diǎn),結(jié)果卻并不是這樣。
