Реферат The translation of the modal verbs: "may, might, can, could, would, should"

s roughly, " ; If you always behaved perfectly, you would never lie "; and" If this works, you should not feel a thing "means roughly," I hope this will work. If it does, you will not feel a thing. "In dialects that use shall commonly, however, this restriction does not apply; for example, a speaker of such a dialect might say," If I failed that test, I think I should cry, "meaning the same thing as," If I failed that test, I think I would cry. "some dialects, it is common to form the subjunctive mood by using should:" It is important that the law should be passed "(where other dialects would say," It is important that the law be passed ") or" If it should happen, we are prepared for it "(or" Should it happen, we are prepared for it "; where early Modern English would say," If it happen, we are prepared for it, "and many dialects of today would say," If it happens, we are prepared for it "). contracted form of would is "'d".

Is also used to express irrelevance in spite of certain or likely truth: "He may be taller than I am , but he is certainly not stronger "may mean roughly," While it is true that he is taller than I am, that does not make a difference, as he is certainly not stronger. "(However, it may also mean, "I am not sure whether he is taller than I am, but I am sure that he is not stronger.") This is the meaning in the phrase "Be that as it may." Might can be used in this sense as well.can be used in the first person to express that future actions are being considered. "I might go to the mall later" means that the speaker is thinking about going to the mall.or might can be used in a question to ask for permission.
