Как правильно решать тест на модальные глаголы в английском языке
Прежде всего напомним, какую роль играют в английских высказываниях модальные глаголы. Этот грамматический класс предназначен для того, чтобы указывать на возможность, желание или необходимость выполнения какого-либо действия. Иначе говоря, сам по себе модальный глагол не несет как таковой смысловой нагрузки, поэтому используется он всегда в паре с обычным глаголом, обозначающим действие. При этом смысловой глагол употребляется в своей начальной форме.
- You can take my umbrella, if you want. — Вы можете взять мой зонт, если хотите.
- We must go there, hurry up. — Мы должны туда пойти, поспешим.
- Your son should be more patient. — Вашему сыну следует быть более терпеливым
Это что касается назначения modal verbs. Но, конечно, все тесты на модальные глаголы в английском языке в основном ориентированы на грамматику данной части речи, поэтому давайте кратко пройдемся по основным нюансам употребления подобных слов.
В первую очередь отметим, что modal verbs не зависимы от типа подлежащего, т.е. не изменяются по лицам и числам. Единственным исключением здесь является модальный глагол have to, форма которого при подлежащем в 3 лице ед. ч. меняется на has to.
- I have to tell your dad about that. — Мне придется рассказать твоему отцу об этом.
- He has to listen to me. — Он должен прислушаться ко мне.
Также важно иметь в виду, что английские модальные глаголы способны самостоятельно создавать вопросительные и отрицательные предложения. Опять же, за исключением глагола have to, которому требуется участие вспомогательного do (does, did).
- May we see him? — Можем мы его увидеть?
- You mustn’t believe all they say. — Вы не должны верить всему, что говорят.
- She doesn’t have to make any more decisions. — Ей не придется больше принимать какие-либо решения.
Тестирование на модальные глаголы в английском языке уделяет особое внимание и времени свершения действий. В большинстве случаев modal verbs используются в простом Настоящем или Будущем, причем нисколько не изменяя свою форму. Но ряд модальных глаголов также имеет эквивалентные синонимы для обозначения прошедшего и будущего времен. Вспомним их с помощью небольшой таблицы.
Настоящее время | Прошедшее | Будущее |
can | could | will be able to |
may | might | will be allowed to |
have to | had to | will have to |
Здесь же заметим, что ввиду сходства значений с have to must формально может использовать его форму прошедшего и будущего, но только если при этом не искажается смысл высказывания. Поэтому будьте крайне внимательны при сверке с ответами теста на модальные глаголы в английском.
И, наконец, вновь вернемся к значению modal verbs. Не секрет, что многие представители данной части речи между собой схожи по смыслу. Этот нюанс наглядно демонстрируют сложные тесты на модальные глаголы на английском языке, содержащие коварные вопросы. Ученики часто путаются в контекстах подобных заданий и совершают досадные ошибки. Поэтому перед выполнением практической работы рекомендуем еще раз повторить основные черты каждого глагола. И для этого нам вновь понадобится вспомогательная таблица.
Глагол | Значение |
can | мочь, уметь, быть в состоянии, иметь физическую возможность |
may | возможность, вежливая просьба, вероятность, разрешение, позволение |
must | необходимость, долг, обязанность (по внутренним ощущениям, самостоятельное решение) |
have to | необходимость, долг, обязанность (решение принято под влиянием внешних обстоятельств) |
should | следует, надлежит (совет, рекомендация) |
ought to | формальный синоним should, используется крайне редко |
Вот и все, что необходимо было повторить для подготовки к написанию практической работы. Теперь осталось самое главное – сконцентрировать свое внимание на заданиях и пройти проверку на отлично! Мы уверены, что это вам под силу, а даже если совершения ошибок и не удастся избежать, вы всегда будете знать, какие конкретно нюансы темы стоит изучить еще раз. Именно для этого мы предоставляем на модальные глаголы в английском языке тесты с ответами, ведь разбор совершенных ошибок – ключ к улучшению знаний и достижению совершенного уровня владения английским. Итак, успешного выполнения работы!
