ココでつまずく人が多い気がする助動詞と比較級
more/most を使いポイント助動詞の似た意味の書き換えなど。良く学校の先生がテストに出しそうなものをまとめてみました。
基本が分かっていればすぐに理解できる単元だともいます。
最上級には 「THE」を付けることを忘れないで!

1.助動詞とは?
助動詞 Modal verb | ||
現在形 | 過去形 | 書き換え |
can | could | be able to |
may | might | / |
must | / | have to |
have to | had to | must |
need | / | have to |
shall | should | had better (should より強い) |
/ | had better | should |
will | would | be going to |
/ | used to | / |
Point!
助動詞で一番大事なのはそれぞれの意味と使い方です。
- 助動詞を使った時には動詞は必ず原形を置く。
- 意味が同じで書き換えられるようにしとく。
- Must = Have to
- Must not + 動詞の原形 = Do not + 動詞の原形
- Will + 動詞の原形 = Be going to + 動詞の原形
- Can + 動詞の原形 = Be able to + 動詞の原形
他にも依頼を表す際に使われる、「~してくれませんか?」
- can you ~?
- could you ~?
- will you ~?
- would you ~?
4つ全部同じ意味なので、書き換えできますし、どれを使っても中学生レベルであれば問題ありません。
みんながよく分からなくなってしまうのが、
- must be (~に違いない)
- Shall I ~? (私が~しましょうか?)
- Shall we ~? (一緒に~しませんか?)
この3つの意味を覚えられない人が多いので、意識して覚えましょう。
