Can and could упражнения с ответами

Модальные глаголы can, could и (be) able to

Мы используем can, чтобы сказать, что что-то возможно или разрешено, или что у кого-то есть физическая способность что-то сделать. Мы используем can + инфинитив (can do / can see и др.):

We can see the lake from our bedroom window.
‘I haven’t got a pen.’ ‘You can use mine.’
Can you speak any foreign languages?
I can come and see you tomorrow if you like.
The word ‘play’ can be a noun or a verb.

Отрицательная форма — can’t (= cannot):

I’m afraid I can’t come to the party on Friday.

Вы можете сказать, что кто-то is able to (способен) сделать что-то, но can более естественный вариант:

We are able to see the lake from our bedroom window.

Но у can есть только две формы: can (настоящее время) и could (прошедшее время). Поэтому иногда необходимо использовать (be) able to. Сравните:

Иногда could используется как прошедшее время модального глагола can. Часто мы используем could с:

see hear smell taste feel remember understand

We had a lovely room in the hotel. We could see the lake.
As soon as I walked into the room, I could smell gas.
I was sitting at the back of the theatre and couldn’t hear very well.

Мы также используем could, чтобы сказать, что кто-либо обладал общей способностью или разрешением что-либо сделать:

My grandfather could speak five languages.
We were totally free. We could do what we wanted. (= we were allowed to do = нам было разрешено)

Мы используем could, говоря об общей способности. Но если вы хотите сказать, что кто-то сделал что-то в какой-то конкретной ситуации, используйте was/were able to или managed to (not ~~could~~):

The fire spread through the building very quickly, but fortunately everybody was able to escape / managed to escape. (not~~could escape~~)
We didn’t know where David was, but we managed to find / were able to find him in the end. (not~~could find~~)

Mike was an excellent tennis player when he was younger. He could beat anybody. (= в общем, у него была способность/возможность победить кого угодно)

Mike and Pete played tennis yesterday. Pete played very well, but Mike managed to beat him. (= он смог победить его конкретно в этой игре)

Отрицательная форма couldn’t (could not) возможна во всех ситуациях:

My grandfather couldn’t swim.
We looked for David everywhere, but we couldn’t find him.
Pete played well, but he couldn’t beat Mike.

Модальные глаголы в английском языке. Упражнения с ответами

Модальные глаголы — это глаголы, которые не используются самостоятельно; они выражают отношение говорящего к какому-либо действию или состоянию.

Модальные глаголы часто используются в английском языке для выражения обязательства, долга, необходимости, разрешения, запрета, возможности, способности/неспособности, для выражения критического замечания, предложения или для того, чтобы дать совет.

К модальным глаголам относятся can/could (уметь, быть в состоянии/мог, умел), may/might (может/мог (используется для выражения вероятности или разрешения)), must/have to (должен («категоричный» глагол)/должен в связи с какими-то обстоятельствами), ought to (следует, нужно), shall/should (для предложения совместного действия, предложение услуги,совет), will/would (намерения, желания, обещания).
