maybe用法

发布时间:2017-12-25编辑:互联网

Maybe she's there. 可能她在那儿。

maybe 是副词,意思是

"也许、可能",在句中作状语,相当于perhaps,常位于句首。如:

Maybe she'll come this afternoon. 她可能今天下午来。

Maybe you put the letter in your pocket. 大概你把信放在衣袋里了。

而may也有可能之意,may be中的may是情态动词,be 是动词原形,两者构成完整的谓语形式,与主语形成系表结构意为"也许是......可能是......"。如:

I can't find my watch. It may be in your bag. 我找不到我的手表了,它可能在你的包里。

He may be a soldier. 他可能是个军人。

maybe 和may be有时可以互换。

He may be in the office.(=Maybe he is in the office.)他或许在办公室。

You may be right.(=Maybe you are right.)你或许是对的。
