Lý thuyết
Cùng ôn tập các lý thuyết cơ bản trước khi đến phần bài tập nhé.
- CAN / CAN’T: việc nào đó có/không thể xảy ra hoặc người nào đó có/không khả năng làm việc gì.
- COULD / COULDN’T (quá khứ của CAN): thường dùng với các động từ đặc biệt như see, hear, smell, taste, feel, remember, understand.
- BE ABLE TO: dùng thay cho CAN / COULD, dùng khi muốn nói người nào đó đã xoay xở làm được việc gì trong 1 tình huống cụ thể.
- MUST / MUSTN’T: tin chắc một điều gì đó đúng/không đúng sự thật, đôi khi mang nghĩa bắt buộc. MUST nói về hiện tại và tương lai, còn HAVE TO dùng được trong tất cả các thể.
- MAY / MIGHT: việc nào đó có thể xảy ra (ý nghĩa tương lai).
- SHOULD / OUGHT TO: dùng khi muốn đưa ra ý kiến, lời khuyên.
Lưu ý:
- CAN, COULD, WOULD, MAY: được dùng trong câu đề nghị, yêu cầu cho phép, lời mời (thường là câu hỏi)
- Các modal verb vẫn được dùng trong tình huống quá khứ: COULD / MUST / MAY / MIGHT / SHOULD + HAVE + quá khứ phân từ
- Còn đa phần khi dùng thì hiện tại: MODAL VERB + V-bare (động từ nguyên mẫu)
