Could 和should 的用法1. Why don’t you do sth.?
这是给别人提建议, 建议某人做什么事情的句型。
e.g. Why don’t we come more often?
咱们为什么不经常来这里呢?

为什么不给她买个相机呢?
这个句型还有发出礼貌地邀请的用法。

= Why not have a drink of tea?如:
Why don’t you come with me?
= Why not come with me?
肯定回答:Good idea / OK / All right /
Sounds good等。
否定回答:I’m afraid not / That’s too …
/Sorry, I can’t等。2. How/What about…? 表示“……怎么样/好吗?”
这个句型是询问听话这一方对某事物的看法或者
意见。about是个介词, 它后面要接名词或者doing。
e.g. How about his playing football?
他足球踢得怎么样?
What about swimming with us?
和我们一起游泳怎么样?
How about her English?
她的英语怎样?How about some tennis balls? / What about a
watch?

for a vacation this year?

about …?也可用于征求意见或提出建议,意为
“……怎么样?” about是介词,后可接名词、代
词、V-ing形式。
如:–– What about (having) another piece
of bread? –– No, thanks. I’m full.
going3. could和should都可以用来表示建议或劝 告,
前者比后者在语气上更加婉转、客气。 could
意为“可以” should意为“应该;应当”。
e.g. — I need some money to pay for the
summer camp.
—You should / could borrow some money
from your brother.
—我需要些钱来支付(参加)夏令营的费用。
—你应该/可以向你的哥哥借一些钱。1). could的用法
Could是can的过去式,在比较委婉客气 地
提出请求或陈述用法时,一般多用could,
回答时则用can,例如:
—Could you please tell us where we show
our tickets?
—Yes, I can.
——你能告诉我们在哪里检票吗?
——可以,我能。在“Could you...?”句型中,could仅表示语气
的婉转,而不是过去时。在希望得到肯定答
复时,以及在表示建议、请求和征求意见时
句中常用some和something,而不用any和
anything。例如:
Could you lend me your bike, please?
请把你的自行车借给我好吗?
Could you please say something about your
family?
你能说说你的家庭情况吗?另外,could还有以下用法:
用来表示过去的能力、可能性或许可。例
1 could read al the age of five.
我5岁时就能看书。
You could go with him.
你可以和他一起去的。
用来表示推测或条件。例如:
If we could help, we would.
如果我们能帮上忙,我们会帮的。2.)should的用法
should是情态动同,它必须和其它动同一 起构
成谓语,没有人称和数的变化,表示劝告或建
议,意为“应该(当)”。例如:
—I have a very bad cold.
——You should lie down, have a rest and
drink more water.
—我得了重感冒。
——你应该躺下休息,多喝水。should作为情态动词,可以表谦逊、客气、委
婉之意。例如:

again. 我倒是认为最好再试一试。
You are mistaken, I should say.
据我看,你搞错了。
