★Key structures

“推测”

对什么时候的推测不在于must,may,can't是什么时态，而在于后面加的是原形还是have done

must,may,can't+动词原形：对现在、未来的推测

must,may,can't+have done:对过去的推测

must:一定，很可能;may：有可能;can't：不可能

may的用法：

1.推测“可能”：might比may语气弱

must>may>might>can't

2.可以：might比may委婉

May (Might) I...? 我可以……吗?(只能和第一人称连用)

Can(May) I...?

Can you...?

Could I...?(更委婉的说法)
