【2010江苏·镇江】3. They _________ play football last Friday because Simon forgot to bring his football here.
A. could B. couldn’t C. can’t D. can
答案:B
【解析】情态动词。couldn’t 是could的否定式。表推测时,它们并不是过去式,只是在语气上比can或can’t委婉;could和couldn’t 表示推测时,可用于肯定句、否定句和疑问句。could/couldn`t一般用于过去的时态,can/can`t一般用于一般现在时态。句意为:上周五他们不可能踢足球了,因为西蒙忘记带他的足球了。故选择B。

A.could B.would C.should D.might

【解析】情态动词。句意:我不在乎老师怎么认为。你应该在乎。could 能would 将 should应该might可能。故选C。
