将来时只有一个形式,因为 can 除了表示许可时外不能用于将来时,但是在条件语气中则有两种形式:could 和 would be able。
be able 的所有其他时态,都按照普通动词的规则来构成:
现在完成时:have been able
过去完成时:had been able
否定疑问式:could you not?/couldn't you?were you not?/weren't you able?will you not?/won't you be able?等
can/be/will/shall not和 have 都可以按通常方法缩略:
I wasn't able he won't be able I've been able
can 后面带不带 to 的不定式(即动词原形)。
be able 后面带有 to 的不定式。 |
