Модальные глаголы

Модальные глаголы не обозначают действия или состояния, а лишь передают отношение говорящего к действию, выраженному инфинитивом, например, действие может рассматриваться как возможное, желательное, обязательное и т. п.

Модальные глаголы являются недостаточными, так как у них отсутствует ряд грамматических форм, присущих обычным глаголам:

- Только модальный глагол have to имеет форму настоящего, прошедшего и будущего времени (have / has to – had to – will have to). Формы настоящего и прошедшего времени есть у глаголов can, may и be to (can – could, may – might, am / is / are to – was / were to). Остальные глаголы имеюттолько форму настоящего времени.

- Мо­дальные глаголы не употребляются в формах Continuous, Perfect, Perfect Continuous, а также в страдательном за­логе. Они не имеют форм инфинитива, причастия и герундия.

- Модальные глаголы не изменяются по лицам и числам (за исключением модальных глаголов have to, be to).

- Вопросительную и отрицательную форму модальные глаголы образуют без помощи вспомогательных глаголов (кроме модального глагола have to). В вопросительных предложениях модальный глагол занимает место перед подлежащим. Отрицательная форма образуется при помощи частицы not, которая ставится после модального глагола.

CAN

Present	Past	Future
can am is able to are	could was able to were	will be able to

 

Значение	+– ?	Инфинитив	Примеры
способность, умение	+ – ?	Simple	I can write shorthand. – Я умею стеногра-фировать. I will not be able to sign the documents until tomorrow. – Я не смогу подписать документы до завтрашнего дня.
просьба, разрешение (в неофиц. ситуации)	? +	Simple	Can / Could I use your phone? ~ Sure, you can. – Я могу воспользоваться твоим телефоном? ~ Конечно, можешь.
запрет(нейтральный)	–	Simple	You cannot see him as he is in a meeting. – Вы не можете встретиться с ним, так как он на собрании.
предположение (could)	+	Simple, Continuous, Perfect, Perfect Continuous	Don’t wait for him. He could be late. – Не жди его. Он, наверное, опоздает. They couldhave arrived already. – Возможно, они уже приехали.

Примечания:

ü Способность выполнить какое-либо действие в прошлом выражается при помощи модального глагола could, его эквивалента was / were able to или выражения managed to. При этом глагол could обозначает возможность совершения действия вообще, обычно, постоянно (переводится «(не) умел»), а выражения was / were able to и managed to – возможность выполнить действие в определенной ситуации (переводятся «(не) смог», «(не) сумел»). Например:

After a few months on the training course, I could speakJapanese quite well. – После нескольких месяцев учебных курсов я мог говорить по японски довольно хорошо.

After six hours of negotiation, we finally were able to / managed to make some progress. – После шестичасовых переговоров мы смогли достичь успеха.

ü В сочетании с глаголами чувственного восприятия и умственной деятельности (see, hear, smell, taste, feel, remember, understand и др.) используется can / could, а не эквивалент be able to. Например:

From my hotel room I could see the sea. – Из моего номера в гостинице я мог видеть море.

My secretary phoned the airline but could not getme on the flight. – Мой секретарь позвонил в авиакомпанию, но не смог забронировать билет на рейс.

ü Эквивалентом should и ought to является модальный оборот had better (лучше), который выражает совет в конкретной ситуации и содержит предостережение о возможном неприятном последствии, если этому совету не последовать.

отсутствие необходимости	–	Simple, Perfect	You need not thank me. – Не нужно меня благодарить. They need not have come so early. – Им не нужно было приходить так рано.

Примечание:

ü Глагол need может употребляться в предложении либо в качестве модального, либо в качестве смыслового глагола. Модальный глагол need имеет только форму настоящего времени и употребляется в сочетании с инфинитивом без частицы to. Смысловой глагол need сочетается с существительным, местоимением или инфинитивом с частицей to. Его отрицательная и вопросительная формы образуются с помощью вспомогательного глагола do, does или did. Сравните:

You needn’t hurry. – Вам не нужно торопиться. (модальный глагол)

You do not need to hurry. – Вам не нужно торопиться. (смысловой глагол)
