★Key structures
“推测”
对什么时候的推测不在于must,may,can't是什么时态，而在于后面加的是原形还是have done
must,may,can't+动词原形：对现在、未来的推测
must,may,can't+have done:对过去的推测
must:一定，很可能；may：有可能；can't：不可能

may的用法：
1.推测“可能”：might比may语气弱
must>may>might>can't
2.可以：might比may委婉
May (Might) I...? 我可以……吗？（只能和第一人称连用）
Can(May) I...?
Can you...?
Could I...?(更委婉的说法）
