When will the writer see the play?
'The play may begin at any moment,' I said.
'It may have begun already,' Susan answered.
I hurried to the ticket office. 'May I have two tickets please?' I asked.
'I'm sorry, we've sold out,' the girl said.
'What a pity!' Susan exclaimed.
Just then, a man hurried to the ticket office.
'Can I return these two tickets?' he asked.
'Certainly,' the girl said.
I went back to the ticket office at once.
'Could I have those two tickets please?' I asked.
'Certainly,' the girl said, 'but they're for next Wednesday's performance. Do you still want them?'
'I might as well have them,' I said sadly.

共有的概念 “推測”
十七課 : 對現(xiàn)在的推測
十九課 : 對現(xiàn)在和過去的推測
不在于must,may,can't是什么時態(tài), 而在于后面加的是原形還是have done.
加原形是對現(xiàn)在的推測, 加have done對過去的推測.
may : ⑴推測 “可能”
⑵ “可以” May I do sth.? 我可以做某事嗎?
⑶ may,might(can,could) 對語氣的強弱
I. 除了 “might” “could” 是 “may” “can” 的過去式的概念外
II. 在表達 “可以... 嗎?” 時, 可以用 “might” “could” 替換 “may” “can” , 而區(qū)別在于語氣上更委婉些
III. 在表示 “推測” 句型中, 并不用 “might” “could” 來表示對過去的推測, 只能是 “推測” 的可能性比 “may” “can” 更小些的意思, must->may->might->can’t(推測的可能性語氣下降)
may as well=might as well “還是...好”
上述所講是對現(xiàn)在和未來的推測, 對過去的推測要用虛擬語氣
