这一章我们继续动词之旅。承接动词短语出场的是常配合实义动词展现情感态度的一类——情态动词。我们都知道但凡涉及到主观感情话题，那就是复杂多变，万变不离多变…;不过也不必太多担心，毕竟才到中考，知识点还在完全可控的范围。
核心知识点整理
一、解题思路
1. 单选中的情态动词考题，常搭配情景对话语境（包含请求、建议、推测、禁止、允许、义务等多种场景表达）。
2. 解题逻辑应是语境优先，再词义辨析最后进行问答搭配（要注意有些场景有固定回答句式）。
二、常见考点
1. 表「能力」can / could
1)can：现在/平时具备的能力；
2)could：①过去能力 ②委婉请求（比can语气客气）
要注意情态动词表能力和be able to表能力的区别。
