情态动词用法口诀：
情态动词两特点，动词原形接后面，说话语气较委婉。
can"能力"may"许可"，must"责任"或"义务"。
否定回答needn’t换，"需要"need,dare"敢"。
should"应该"，would"愿"，haveto"被迫"表客观。

情态动词表示推测的用法：
 can， could， may， might， must 皆可表示推测，其用法如下：
1）情态动词＋动词原形，表示对现在或将来的情况的推测，此时动词通常为系动词。例如：
I don't know where she is，she may be in Wuhan．我不知道她在哪儿，可能在武汉。

2）情态动词＋动词现在进行时，表示对现在或将来正在进行的情况进行推测。例如：
At this moment，our teacher must be correcting our exam papers．这时，想必我们老师正在批改试卷。

3）情态动词＋动词完成时，表示对过去情况的推测。例如：
The road is wet．It must have rained last night．地是湿的，昨天晚上一定下雨了。

4）情态动词＋动词的现在完成进行时，表示对过去正在发生事情的推测。例如：
Your mother must have been looking for you．你妈妈一定一直在找你。

5）推测的否定形式，疑问形式用can't，couldn't表示。例如：
Mike can't have found his car，for he came to work by bus this morning．
迈克一定还没有找回他的车，因为早上他是坐公共汽车来上班的。
注意：could，might表示推测时不表示时态，其推测的程度不如can，may。
