究竟‘maybe’ 什麼時候是一個字,什麼時候是兩個字啊?🤯😩
📍maybe (adverb副詞): 或許
e.g. Maybe he will give you a hand. 或許他會幫你一把。
(以上句子中的動詞是’will give’。 ’Maybe’ 只是修飾動詞的副詞,讓我們知道他會幫忙的可能性有多大,本身並不是動詞。)
📍may be
~ ‘may’ 是情態動詞(modal verb), 是或者、可能的意思
~ ‘be’ 會是句子中的主動詞/助動詞(main verb/auxiliary verb)
e.g. You may be right. 你或許是對的。
(‘be’ 是這句子中的主動詞。)
e.g. He may be waiting for you. 他或許正在等你。
(‘be’ 是這句子中的助動詞。)
簡單而言,若maybe不是句子中的動詞或助動詞而是副詞,就記得要把它們黏在一起抱緊處理!
以下我們再看看如何分別用’maybe’ 和 ’may be’ 表達同樣的意思:
🍺 Carlsberg MAY BE the best beer in the world.
🍺 MAYBE Carlsberg is the best beer in the world.
