may be和maybe一分一合,但它們的含義和用法卻截然不同.
maybe是副詞,意思是“也許、可能”,在句中作狀語,相當(dāng)于perhaps,常位于句首.Maybe she’ll come this afternoon.她可能今天下午來.
Maybe you put the letter in your pockets.大概你把信放在衣袋里了.
在may be中,may是情態(tài)動詞,be是動詞原形,兩者構(gòu)成完整的謂語形式,與主語形成系表結(jié)構(gòu),意為“也許是、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.他可能是軍人.
maybe和may be可相互轉(zhuǎn)換.
He may be in the office.= Maybe he is in the office.他或許在辦公室.
You may be right.= Maybe you are right.你或許是對的.
