to improve your vocabulary phrases

questions and

more it's free check it out okay let's

go

can could you

can could you okay so this first one is

can you or could you blah blah so a lot

of people ask what's the difference

between

can you and could you which one should i

use if you're making a request

basically you can use either one if you

want to sound a little bit more polite

i would recommend you use could you so

if you're talking to your friend or your

family member

you can say like can you help me with

this or can you help me make dinner or

can you buy some milk at the store or

can you please fix your hair it looks

weird

if you want to be a little bit more

polite like when you're talking to

someone at work or talking to someone

you don't know so well

you can use could you blah blah so could

you please send me that file or could

you please tell me where the restroom is

you can use those for more polite

situations

both of them are totally correct both of

them are fine to use in most everyday

situations so it's up to you

to decide how polite you want to sound

okay example sentence

can you help me move this sofa

i may might i may

might okay may and might

this presents another very very common

question when you want to talk about

your own plans as in this example

sentence with i may

or i might we have the same

feeling yes they both express something

we're not

sure about an upcoming plan that we're

not sure about

but in american english today might

tends to be

more commonly used in everyday

conversation

may tends to sound a little bit more

polite a little bit more formal

when we're talking with our friends we

say i might go to the beach this weekend

or i might go to a party

to make it negative we say i might not

do that or i might not go to dinner

after all i feel kind of sick

so might tends to be used more in

everyday conversation

again just as with can and could may and

might are both completely correct

they're both fine to use it's just up to

you to choose how polite you want to

sound

okay examples i might take a day off

next week

what should i what should i

okay this one focuses on the word should

we use should to ask for advice and

to give advice generally so we tend to

use this word

in kind of close situations you're

asking somebody for help maybe

you're asking for someone's opinion so

you can say what should i do

if you are having trouble in an everyday

life situation

or you can use this to make a more

complex sentence

like what should i get for dinner

tonight like to ask for someone's

opinion

or maybe you can change as well the eye

to something else to another person

what should he do or what should she do

or what should they do

you can change that i in the sentence to

ask about someone's opinion

regarding a third person regarding

another party

so this is a very basic sentence yes

what should i

this pattern but you can change it with

these very very simple small things

to ask about others outside yourself

another example

what should i make for dinner i think

you should

i think you should okay so here again

we're seeing

should used in this case we're seeing i

think

you should so that means we are seeing

an advice

pattern being presented here this is

something you can use to kind of softly

and maybe a little politely express your

opinion about something

in this case i think you should is

followed by a verb

i think you should verb i think you

should go i think you should quit

i think you should stop eating so much

junk food you're giving some kind of

advice to the listener

you can make this less polite by

dropping i think

so you make the sentence you should you

should do this you should do that

that will make the sentence less polite

including i think at the beginning of it

makes it sound a little bit softer so it

sounds a bit nicer a little bit kinder

examples i think you should start

exercising

shall we shall we

okay shall we this is another very

common question

lots of people like to ask about the

difference between shall we

and will we they are very different you

cannot use them interchangeably

shall we is a polite way to suggest you

do something

maybe you've seen this in a romantic

movie like shall we dance

or shall we go for a drink something

like that

it sounds kind of polite a little bit

nice to say

shall we instead of do you want to they

have the same meaning though but shall

we sounds a little bit more formal

so shall we and will we are sometimes

confused by learners

will we is quite different will we is

asking a question about a future

plan like will we have to pay for this

later

or will we be in time for the movie

shall we

is like suggesting you do something with

another person

will we is saying something like oh my

gosh

i'm not sure about this future plan that

we have together

is it true is it going to happen that's

the difference between the two

oh another point about this shall we

tense we tend to use

shall we or shall i we don't really use

shall he or shall she so often we tend

to use it for our own activities that's

why you'll see

shall we or shall i used more

uh this is also true for an expression

like shall you you don't see that

shall is used together with some other

person

example shall we visit your parents for

christmas

if i i would

if i i would this is a very common

pattern

if i something i would a lot of people

like to use this an expression like if i

were you

i would so they like to ask should i use

were

should i use was in a pattern like if i

were you or

if i was you the correct answer is if i

were you

i would we use was in a pattern like if

i was something something something

to talk about a possible past situation

when you want to talk about something

that is not true now so an

unreal situation now like being you

which is not true

not possible use were if i were you

it's not possible so please use were in

that case

you can of course use this in other

situations if i

something i would for example if i lost

my job i would find a new one or if i

won the lottery

i would buy a house so you can use verbs

in this pattern as well

just keep in mind the verb form that you

use

if i won the lottery or if i

ate a big dinner we're using simple past

tense in this verb form so please make

sure not to use like

simple present tense or don't use an ing

verb form here

if i simple past tense i would blah blah

for example if i had a bigger house i

would have dinner parties

so final point here remember when you

use this pattern to express something

that is not true

not real like in my example sentence if

i won the lottery

i would buy a house make sure you're

using the correct

verb form after would too if i

won the lottery past tense verb i would

buy

a house the verb in the main clause is

in the infinitive form so make sure that

your verbs match

this is a good one to study grammar with

okay onward

you must not you must

not okay here we see a rule

must is commonly used to express rules

we don't use

must so much in everyday conversation

because it tends to sound

quite strong you will however see must

used in official rules like if you're

traveling you're going to like the

airport

maybe you are seeing some rules on a

sign somewhere

uh or you're seeing i don't know maybe

you're reading a contract

something official that's where you tend

to see must used

we use must in everyday conversation for

super super strong

things like you must do this or you must

not do that maybe your doctor gives you

some advice for example

so in general you don't see this in

everyday conversation so much

but you should know when it means that

you should take something seriously like

in an official rule like you must not

smoke in this area

or you must stop eating junk food or

you're going to get

very very unhealthy or you must not

forget your mother's birthday that's

actually very true

that's a very strong situation you must

not forget your mother's birthday

you must not disappoint your mother

exactly exactly so

these are all very very important and

strong things that we need to

communicate we do that with

must you can also of course change your

subject to he

or she or they as well so that you're

not just talking to

you the listener or the reader but you

can use it to express something

another person must or must not do

example passengers must show their

passports to immigration officers

this must not be this must not be

okay this use of must sometimes is a bit

challenging the key with this use of

must

is the use of must with b

so when we use must and b together

we're talking about a possible condition

or a possible state

in this example we see it in the

negative this must not be

something something something so we use

this in a situation like for example

you're looking for a place you're using

the gps on your phone

and you come to this place and you think

this seems correct

but my the restaurant i'm looking for is

not

here we might say this must not be

the right place that means this is

probably

not the right place or this expression

describes a very high chance that

something is

not true in the negative when we use it

in the positive

for example oh this must be the right

place i found the restaurant

it means there's a high possibility i am

correct

so this use of must is when we use it

with

b to make the negative must not be to

make the positive

this must be so you can use it to talk

about places

you can also use it to talk about

conditions so for example like when you

look at answers

on a test you might think to yourself

hmm this must be

the correct answer or this must be

correct you can use both a noun

and an adjective after this to express

that high or

low condition of something being true

example

this must not be the right place it's

closed

that can't be that can't be

okay that can't be this is the reduced

form of

that cannot be this means it's

impossible so

some condition or some state is

impossible

this is different from must not be

because must not be

expresses that there's a very very low

chance that something is true

that can't be expresses that something

is completely impossible there is zero

percent chance that something is true

so for example if i think i see my

co-worker at the coffee shop but i know

my co-worker is at the office

i might think to myself that can't be

risa

she's at the office today maybe she

looks just like my co-worker

but i know it's not possible i expressed

that with

can't be this is quite different from

that must not be

because must not be expresses there's

still a little bit of a chance that that

is true

can't be expresses that it is completely

impossible

interestingly we don't really use this

in the positive form much we don't say

this can be correct we tend to say

this could be correct we don't really

use this this can be

pattern so if you want to express

something as impossible

completely impossible use this can't be

also couldn't be is acceptable here but

when you want to express that something

is just

possible use could be not can't be

interesting point

okay example that can't be the right

file

the data is totally different

we shouldn't we shouldn't

okay so here we're using should again

this time

in the negative shouldn't is the reduced

form should not becomes

shouldn't in this case we're using it

with the subject we

meaning something you and i together

should

not do so again this is an advice

pattern

we should not do something of course you

can make this positive by simply

removing not

after should we should blah blah blah so

we shouldn't

steal we shouldn't disrespect our

mothers we shouldn't forget our mother's

birthdays right this is the important

point from today's lesson i think

uh we shouldn't so when you want to

express something that's not a good idea

something that you don't think you as a

group should do

you can express that with we shouldn't

verb

in this case also please remember you

follow the verb with the infinitive form

we shouldn't do something we shouldn't

eat we shouldn't talk we shouldn't

forget

so don't use like an ing form don't use

the past tense form here

please follow should this use of should

the advice form

with the simple infinitive form example

we shouldn't think too much about this

all right that is everything for this

大家好，欢迎回到最上面的话，

我的名字是艾丽西亚，今天我们

将讨论

10 种情态动词模式，在我们快速开始之前，

您可以

从视频下方的链接中找到免费的 pdf 文件，

检查描述中的此链接以

查找 pdfs

来提高你的词汇短语

问题和

更多它是免费的检查出来好吧让我们

去

可以你

可以你可以吗所以第一个是

你可以吗或者你可以等等等等

很多人问你

可以和可以有什么区别

如果您提出请求，我应该使用哪一个

基本上您可以使用任何一个如果您

想听起来更有礼貌，

我建议您使用 can you so

如果您正在与您的朋友或家人交谈，

您 可以说，你能帮我做这个吗，

或者你能帮我做晚饭

吗，或者你能在商店买些牛奶

吗？或者你能不能把头发修一下，

如果你想更有礼貌一点，

就像你在 和

某人说话 在工作或与你不太了解的人交谈时，

你可以使用你能不能等等等等，

请你把那个文件发给我，或者

你能告诉我洗手间在哪里，

你可以在更礼貌的

情况下使用它们 完全正确 两者

都可以在大多数日常情况下使用，

所以由你

决定你想听起来多么礼貌

当你想谈论

你自己的计划时，这是一个非常常见的问题，就像这个

例句中的 i may

or i may 我们有同样的

感觉，是的，他们都表达了一些

我们不确定即将到来的计划的

事情 在今天的美式英语中，

在日常

对话中可能更常用，当我们与朋友交谈时，

可能听起来更

有礼貌，更正式

，我们

说我可能这个周末去海滩

或 我可能会去参加一个聚会

来让它变得消极，我们说我可能不会

那样做，或者我可能不会去吃晚饭

，毕竟我觉得有点恶心，

所以可能会在日常对话中再次被更多地使用，

就像 can 和 could may 和

可能都是完全正确的

他们都可以使用 这只是由

你来选择你想听起来有多礼貌

好的例子 我下周可能会休息一天

我应该怎么办 我应该怎么

办 使用 should 来寻求建议和

一般地给予建议，所以我们倾向于

在亲密的情况下使用这个词，你正在

向某人寻求帮助，也许

你正在征求某人的意见，所以

你可以说如果你有我该怎么办

在日常生活中遇到麻烦，

或者你可以用它来造一个更

复杂的句子，

比如今晚我应该吃什么

想征求别人的

意见，

或者你也可以把目光

转向另一个人

他应该怎么做 或者什么 她

应该做什么或他们应该做什么

你可以改变我在句子中

询问某人对第三人对

另一方的看法

所以这是一个非常基本的句子是的

我应该

这个模式但是你可以用

这些非常非常 简单的

小事询问自己以外的其他人

另一个例子

晚餐我应该做什么我认为

你应该

我认为你应该没事所以在这里

我们再次看到

应该在这种情况下使用我们看到我

认为

你应该这样这意味着我们 看到

这里出现了一个建议模式，这是

你可以用来温和

地表达你

对某事的看法的东西

我

觉得你应该戒烟 你

应该这样做 你应该这样

做 会让句子不那么礼貌

包括我认为在它的开头

使它听起来更柔和所以

听起来更好一点 更友好的

例子 我认为你应该开始

锻炼

应该 我们可以

吗，我们可以吗，这是另一个非常

常见的问题，

很多人都喜欢问关于

我们和我们之间的区别，

它们是非常不同的，你

不能互换使用它们

吗？我们是一种礼貌的方式来建议你

做某事，

也许你’ 在浪漫电影中看过这个，

比如我们应该跳舞

还是去喝一杯类似的

东西，

听起来有点礼貌，有点

好说，我们应该而不是你想要吗？

尽管它们具有相同的含义，但

我们听起来 更正式一点，

所以我们会吗？我们有时会

被学习者弄糊涂吗？

我们会完全不同吗？我们会

问一个关于未来计划的问题，

比如我们以后必须为此

付费吗？ 生病了，我们能赶上这部电影

吗？我们是否就像建议你和

另一个人一起

做某事？我们会说类似的事情吗？我的

天哪，

我不确定我们共同制定的这个未来计划

是真的吗？

两者之间的区别

哦，关于这一点的另一点 我们

是否会紧张 我们倾向于使用

是否应该使用 我们不会真正

使用 他或她是否经常

使用 我们倾向于将其用于我们自己的活动 这就是

为什么你会看到

我们应该使用更多吗？或者我应该使用更多

吗？这也适用于类似的表达方式，

例如，你看不到吗？

应该与其他人一起使用？

例如，我们是否应该拜访你的父母过

圣诞节

如果我愿意，

如果我愿意，这是一个非常 常见

模式

if i something i would 很多人都

喜欢使用这个表达方式，比如如果我

是你，

我会，所以他们想问我是否应该使用

were

，我是否应该使用 is in a pattern like if i

are you or

if i are you 正确的答案是如果我

是你

我会是你 se处于一种模式，就像

我是某事某事

可以谈论一个可能的过去情况

当你想谈论

一些现在

不真实的事情所以一个不真实的情况现在就像

你是不真实的，

不可能使用如果我是 你

这是不可能的，所以请在

这种情况下

使用，如果我有事，我当然可以在其他情况下使用它，

例如，如果我失去

工作，我会找到一份新工作，或者如果我中

了彩票，

我会买房子，所以 你也可以

在这种模式下使用动词，

只要记住你使用的动词形式，

如果我中了彩票或者我

吃了一顿丰盛的晚餐，我们

在这种动词形式中使用简单的过去时，所以请

确保不要使用 like

简单的现在时或不要

在这里使用 ing 动词形式

如果我是简单的过去时，我会胡说八道

，例如，如果我有一个更大的房子，我

会举办晚宴，

所以最后一点请记住当你

使用这种模式来表达的东西时

不像我的那样不真实 例句 if

i won the lottery

i would buy a house 确保你

使用正确的

动词形式之后 if i

won the lottery 过去式动词 i would

buy

a house 主句中的动词

是不定式所以 确保

你的动词匹配

这是一个很好的学习语法的好方法，

可以，

你不能，你

不能，在这里我们看到一个

规则必须常用来表达

我们在日常对话中不经常使用的规则，

因为它倾向于 听起来

很强大，但是您会看到

必须在官方规则中使用，例如，如果您正在

旅行，您会喜欢

机场，

也许您在某个地方的标志上看到一些规则，

或者您看到我不知道也许

您 '正在阅读一份

你经常看到的官方合同

必须使用

我们在日常对话中使用 must 用于

超级超级强效的

事情，例如你必须这样做或你

不能这样做 也许你的医生会给你

一些建议，

例如，一般来说，你 别 在日常谈话中经常看到这一点，

但你应该知道什么时候它意味着

你应该认真对待一些事情

，比如你不能

在这个地区吸烟，

或者你必须停止吃垃圾食品，否则

你会变得

非常非常不健康 或者你不能

忘记你母亲的生日那

实际上是非常真实的

那是一个非常强烈的情况你

不能忘记你母亲的生日

你不能

确切地让你母亲失望所以

这些都是非常重要和

强有力的事情我们需要

沟通我们这样做

当然，您也可以将

主题更改为他

或她或他们，这样您

不仅

可以与听众或读者交谈，还

可以用它来表达

其他人必须或不可以做的事情

示例乘客 必须

向移民官员出示他们的护照

这不能这样 这一定不能

这样 使用 must 有时有点

挑战 使用 must 的关键

是使用 of must 和 b

所以当我们一起使用 must 和 b 时，

我们在这个例子中谈论一个可能的条件

或可能的状态

，我们看到它是

否定的 this must not be

something something something 所以我们

在像这样的情况下使用它

你正在寻找一个你在

手机上使用 gps 的地方

，你来到这个地方，你认为

这似乎是正确的，

但我要找的餐厅

不在

这里，我们可能会说这一定不是

正确的地方 这意味着这

可能

不是正确的地方，或者这个表达

描述了

当我们在积极的情况下使用它时，很有可能在消极的情况下某些事情是不正确

的

，例如哦，这一定是

我找到餐厅的正确地方

这意味着有一个很高的 可能性我是

正确的

所以这种使用 must 是当我们将它

与

b 一起使用时做出否定肯定不是

做出肯定

这必须是这样你可以用它来

谈论地方

你也可以用它来谈论

条件所以 像这样的例子 当您

查看测试中的答案

时，您可能会想，

嗯，这一定

是正确的答案，或者这一定是

正确的，您可以

在此之后使用名词和形容词来表示

某事物的高或低条件是真实的

例子，

这必须 不是正确的地方 它已

关闭

不可能

那不可能 是

因为不能

表达

某事为真的

可能性非常低 不能表达某事

完全不可能 某事为真的可能性为零

，例如，如果我认为我

在 咖啡店，但我知道

我的同事在办公室

我可能对自己想，这不可能是

risa

她今天在办公室 也许她

看起来就像我的同事，

但我知道这不可能 我

用 can 表达了这一点

不是 这与那完全

不同 must not be

因为 must not 表示

仍有一点机会这

是真的

不能表示这完全

不可能

有趣的是我们并没有真正

以积极的形式使用它 不要说

这可能是正确的我们倾向于说

这可能是正确的我们并没有真正

使用这这可能是

模式所以如果你想表达

一些不可能的事情

完全不可能使用这不可能

也不可能是 在这里可以接受，但是

当你想表达某事

只是

可能时，使用可能不是不可能是

有趣的点

好吧示例不能是正确的

文件数据完全不同

我们不应该我们不应该

好吧所以在这里我们 '这次再次使用应该

否定应该不应该是简化

形式不应该变成

不应该在这种情况下我们将它

与主题一起使用，我们的

意思是你和我一起

不应该

再次这样做这是一个建议

模式

我们不应该 当然，你可以做一些事情，你

可以通过简单地

删除而不是

在我们应该 blah blah blah 所以

我们不应该

偷窃 我们不应该不尊重我们的

母亲 我们不应该忘记我们母亲的

生日，这

是今天课程的重点 我认为

呃，我们不应该，所以当你想

表达

一些你认为你作为一个

群体不应该做的事情时，

你可以用我们不应该动词来表达，

在这种情况下也请记住你

关注 动词不定式

我们不应该做我们不应该

吃的事情 我们不应该说话 我们不应该忘记

所以不要像 ing 一样使用 不要

在这里使用过去时

的建议形式是否应该

带有简单的不定式示例

我们不应该考虑太多
