Phần Lý Thuyết: Modal Verbs (Các Động Từ Phụ)

Các động từ phụ (modal verbs) là một phần quan trọng của ngữ pháp tiếng Anh. Chúng thường được sử dụng để diễn đạt ý nghĩa của sự khả năng, ý nghĩa xin phép, ý nghĩa nghĩa vụ, và ý nghĩa quyết định.

Các Modal Verbs phổ biến:

1. Can / Could:
   • Can: Diễn tả khả năng hiện tại, sự cho phép, hoặc yêu cầu.
     • Ví dụ: She can speak English. (Cô ấy có thể nói tiếng Anh.)
   • Could: Dùng để diễn tả khả năng trong quá khứ hoặc làm cho yêu cầu trở nên lịch sự hơn.
     • Ví dụ: Could you pass me the salt, please? (Bạn có thể đưa tôi lọ muối được không?)
2. May / Might:
   • May: Thường dùng để xin phép hoặc diễn tả khả năng xảy ra ở hiện tại hoặc tương lai.
     • Ví dụ: May I come in? (Tôi có thể vào không?)
   • Might: Dùng để diễn tả khả năng xảy ra với mức độ không chắc chắn cao hơn “may”.
     • Ví dụ: It might rain later. (Có thể sẽ mưa sau đó.)
3. Must:
   • Diễn tả sự cần thiết, nghĩa vụ bắt buộc hoặc sự suy luận chắc chắn dựa trên thông tin có sẵn.
     • Ví dụ: You must wear a helmet. (Bạn phải đội mũ bảo hiểm.)
     • She must be at home. (Chắc chắn cô ấy đang ở nhà.)
4. Shall / Should:
   • Shall: Thường dùng trong văn phong trang trọng, để đề nghị, gợi ý hoặc hỏi ý kiến.
     • Ví dụ: Shall we go out for dinner? (Chúng ta đi ăn tối nhé?)
   • Should: Dùng để đưa ra lời khuyên hoặc nói về sự bắt buộc nhẹ.
     • Ví dụ: You should exercise more. (Bạn nên tập thể dục nhiều hơn.)
5. Will / Would:
   • Will: Diễn tả dự định hoặc hành động chắc chắn trong tương lai.
     • Ví dụ: I will call you tomorrow. (Tôi sẽ gọi bạn vào ngày mai.)
   • Would: Thường dùng trong câu điều kiện hoặc để diễn tả yêu cầu, lời mời lịch sự.
     • Ví dụ: Would you like some coffee? (Bạn có muốn uống cà phê không?)
6. Ought to:
   • Tương tự như “should”, dùng để đưa ra lời khuyên. Tuy nhiên, “ought to” thường mang ý nghĩa mạnh mẽ hơn.
     • Ví dụ: You ought to apologize. (Bạn nên xin lỗi.)
7. Need:
   • Dùng để diễn tả sự cần thiết, đặc biệt là trong câu phủ định hoặc câu hỏi.
     • Ví dụ: You need not go if you don’t want to. (Bạn không cần phải đi nếu bạn không muốn.)

Một số quy tắc chung:

• Modal verbs luôn đi kèm với động từ nguyên mẫu không “to”.
  • Ví dụ: She can swim. (Cô ấy có thể bơi.)

• Modal verbs không thay đổi theo ngôi hoặc thì (trừ “could” và “might” được dùng cho quá khứ).
  • Ví dụ: I can speak French. / He can speak French. (Tôi/Anh ấy có thể nói tiếng Pháp.)
• Phủ định của modal verbs thường được thêm “not” vào sau modal.
  • Ví dụ: You should not smoke. (Bạn không nên hút thuốc.)
