8. Модальные глаголы (modal verbs)

Модальные глаголы используются для того, чтобы показать отношение говорящего к действию или состоянию, выраженному инфинитивом. Эта группа имеет ряд отличий от остальных глаголов:

- модальные глаголы не имеют неличных форм;

- не образуют аналитические временные формы;

- не имеют окончание -s в 3-ем лице ед. числа;

- присоединяют инфинитив без частицы to;

- образуют отрицательную и вопросительную формы без вспомогательных глаголов;

- имеют сокращенную отрицательную форму.

- большинство модальных глаголов относятся к настоящему или будущему, только can имеет форму прошедшего времени – could.

Should выражает:

1. Совет или пожелание, чтобы лицо-подлежащее предложения выполнило действие, обозначенное инфинитивом: You should be more polite to him.

Shouldn’t выражает совет так не поступать: You shouldn’t go there.

2. Предположение что действие происходит; ожидание, что действие совершится в будущем: The shop should be open now. He should come any minute.

Must выражает:

1. Острую необходимость того, что лицо-подлежащее предложения должно, обязано совершить действие, выраженное инфинитивом. Обычно эта необходимость исходит от самого человека, «изнутри»: I must hurry.

Осторожно! В сочетании со 2-м лицом такое предложение будет звучать как приказ:You must help me. Лучше сказать: Could you help me?

Однако, you must может выражать настоятельную рекомендацию: You must see the Monet exhibition. It’s wonderful!

Mustn’t означает запрет:You mustn’t do it!

Уверенность в том, что действие происходит или должно произойти: It must be cold out doors.

Have to выражает сильную необходимость «извне» – по закону, правилу или чьему-то приказу: I have to come to university at 8.30. You have to have a driving license if you want to drive a car.

Don’t have to выражает отсутствие такой необходимости (не нужно, не обязательно): You don’t have to do the washing-up. I’ve got a dishwasher.
