情态动词 can 的用法
一、基本用法
1. 表示能力(如体力和脑力方面),意为“能,会”等通常后接
动词原形。例如:
I can speak English, but I can’t play the piano.
我会说英语,但我不会弹钢琴.
2.表示请求或允许(和 may 意思相近),意为“可以” ,多用
在口语中;用于疑问句中用来提出要求;用于否定句表示不允
许。 Can you help me, please?
请你帮助我好吗?(表示说话人的请求)
Can I help you? 我能帮助你吗?(用来征求对方是否允许自
己做某事)
You can’t play basketball. 你不能玩篮球。
3. 表示客观可能性, 意为“可能”.
He can be at home now.
他现在可能在家。
4. 表示怀疑。表示惊异、不相信等语气(用于疑问句、否定
句或感叹句中), 意为“会, 可能”。例如:
Can it be true? 那会是真的吗?
二、句式变化:
He can swim. → He can’t /can not swim.
→ 1. 在变否定句时,直接在 can 后加上“not”,可缩写成 can’
t 或 cannot。
I can see an orange on the table.
→ Can you see an orange on the table?
→2.在变一般疑问句时,直接移到主语前(原主语的首字母
改成小写,第一人称应变为第二人称)即可。
→ 3.用 Yes, OK 或 Certainly 等作肯定回答; 用 No 或
Sorry 等作否定回答。

- can 和 be able to 都有表示“能力”的意思。
- can 和 be able to 的区别:

- →1.can 用来表示人或物生来就有的能力,
- 而 be able to 用来表示人后天习得的能力。
→2. can 没有人称和单复数的变化,can 的过去式为
could;be able to 有人称、时态、单复数的形式变化。

教学反思:本节课做的好的方面是:
1.导课时能搜集六种联合国官方语言的音乐和图片素材,既
激发了学生的学习兴趣,又渗透了文化意识,效果较好;
2.在 can 用法的挖掘上,既在全面讲解时使用了演绎法阐明
不同语境的不同意思,还用归纳法引导学生发现不同句式转
换的规则和方法,更在知识拓展的深度上加了 can 与 be able
to 的用法区别,做到讲练结合、精讲精练,突出了复习课的
课型特点;
3 本节课的活动任务是引导学生为各自的俱乐部制作海报宣
传,我先展示了一个标准海报内容,引导学生观察总结海报
内容特点的基础上给出提示信息,又分享了各种精美的英文
海报,在孩子们分工合作时,播放了旋律优美的英文歌曲为
孩子们营造良好的学英语氛围。
本节课值得改进的方面是:
1、 在学生做练习时的呈现方式可以更优化,用 can 或 can’t
填空应让学生起立发言,并说出解题思路,效率更高;
而在用 be able to 或 can 适当形式填空时,应让学生上
黑板书写答案,内容更简洁,效果更出彩。
2、 当学生合作分工制作海报时,我应巡回指导更高效的制
作方法,比如根据特长要明确分工,设计思路要集思广
益,选择合适的展示人选,在上台展示前应梳理好思路,
确保上台展示的良好效果,然后将展示完的作品粘贴在
黑板上作为板书设计的一部分,效果会更好。
