You _________ be right, but I don’t think you are.
A.canB.couldC.mustD.should
B
 從語境上看,C、D不宜選,在剩下的A和B中,許多同學(xué)想當(dāng)然地選了A,認為整個句子為現(xiàn)在時態(tài),所以選can,而不選過去式 could,但是最佳答案卻是B而不是A。按照英語語法,情態(tài)動詞can 用于推測表示可能性時,通常只用于否定句或疑問句中,而不用于肯定句中;但 could 用于表推測時,卻不僅可用于否定句和疑問句,也可用于肯定句,且此時的 could 并不是 can 的過去式,與 can 也沒有時間上的差別,只是 could 比 can語氣更委婉,所以答案選B。注:can 在以下特殊情況下,也可用于肯定句。一是表示抽象的可能性,即從理論上或邏輯上分析是可能的,但是實際上未必會發(fā)生。如:Anyone can make mistakes. 任何人都可能會犯錯誤。二是后接“be (get, seem, become)+形容詞”,表示“有時會”、“時常會”等。如:My father can be very unreasonable. 我父親有時候很不講道理。
