应如何区分 may be 与 maybe

2个回答

  • may be和maybe一分一合,但它们的含义和用法却截然不同.

    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.

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

    Maybe you put the pen in your bay.大概你把笔放在包里了.

    在may be中,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”.

    I can’t find my watch.It may be in your pocket.

    我找不到我的手表了,它可能在你的口袋里.

    He may be a soldier.他可能是军人.
