表示推測的情態動詞在英語中，表示對某件事物的確定程度，即表示推測的時候，我們通常會用到以下情態動詞:must,might,could,may,can’t,couldn’t。可能性：must>can/could>may/mightcannot(can’t)couldnot(couldn’t)maynotmightnot一、mustmust“一定、準是”。只能用于肯定句。

“一定不”，應該用can't。如果詢問可能性時，應該用can。Hemustknowtheanswers.

他肯定知道答案。Hecan'tknowtheanswers.

他肯定不知道答案Canheknowtheanswer?

他知道答案嗎？二、can/couldcan表示推測“可能性”時，一般用于否定句或疑問句。can在疑問句中意思是“會，可能”。Hecan’tpickherschoolbagup.

他不可能拿了她的書包。

could表示某事有可能發生或可能是事實。Don’teatit.Itcouldgobad.

不要吃它，可能壞了。Theplanecouldbeputoffbythestorm.

這趟飛機可能會因為暴風雨而推遲。

could還可用于表示客氣、禮貌、委婉的請求語氣。Couldyoupleasehelpmewithmyhomework?

你能幫我完成我的家庭作業嗎？

三、may/mightmay,might表示推測“可能性”時，意思是“可能”，“也許”。might不表示過去時態，語氣更委婉，可能性更小。may,might表推測時，用于否定句，但不用于疑問句。Hemay/mightnotbeathome,butI'mnotsure.

他可能不在家，不過我也不確定。
