... would like to V ...
　　結構︰主詞+would like+(sb.)+to+原形動詞
　　說明︰此句型意為“想要…”。would like 是一種表示意願的<動詞>，後接<不定詞> to 引導的原形<動詞>。“should like to ...”雖有同樣的意思，但較少用於第2，3人稱。
　　Would you like to have a look at the picture? -- Yes, I should very much like to.
　　你想瞧瞧這畫嗎?--是的!很想!
　　I would like to take a trip around the world toward¹ the end of this year.
　　我想在今年底環遊世界。
　　I would like you to meet Mr. Jones. 我想讓你見見瓊斯先生。
　　I would like him to do it. 我想要他做這事。
　　would rather V1 than V2
　　結構︰主詞+would rather+原形動詞1…than+原形動詞2…
　　說明︰此句型意為“寧願…也不願…”。would rather 和 than 之後都要用原形<動詞>。若 than 之後的<動詞>和 would rather 之後的<動詞>相同，則 than 之後的<動詞>可省略。
　　I’d rather take care of the stomachs of the living than (take care of) the glory of the dead in the form of stone memorials. 我寧願照顧活人的肚子，也不願以石碑的形式來照顧死者的榮耀。

　　我寧可安於貧窮，也不願用不當手段賺錢。
　　... had better + V ...
　　結構︰主詞+had better+原形動詞…
　　說明︰此句型意為“最好…;還是…為好”。用 had better 來執行和一個<助動詞>一樣的功能。“had better have+過去<分詞>”表“最好已經…”之意;“had best ...”則是“以…為最佳”，比 had better… 的意思還要強調。
　　You had better consult a doctor soon. 你最好快點去看醫生。
　　The policeman said to him, "You’d better come with me and tell me all about the accident."
　　警察對他說：“你最好跟我來，並告訴我這次事故的經過。”

　　You had best not accept the offer. 你最好是不要接納這要求。
　　May you + V ...
　　結構︰May+第二、三人稱主詞+動詞原形+其他
　　說明︰此句型意為“祝…”。may 此處表示祝福與願望，多用於書面語中，口語中有時也用，但顯得較莊重。本<句型>的特點是：may 不是在<主詞>後面，而是擺在句子開頭，使全句成倒裝語序，表達出祝願的意義。
　　May you recover soon! 願您早日康復!
　　May you succeed in business. 祝您生意興隆!
　　May our two parties achieve even greater successes in our business.
　　祝我們雙方在生意中取得更大的成功。
　　may well + V ...
　　結構︰may well + 原形動詞
　　說明︰此句型意為“理當…;大可…”。may 是<助動詞>，well 是<副詞>，後接原形<動詞>。若將 well 置於<主詞>前面，可加強<語氣>。
　　You may well find that the end of the book is better than the beginning.
　　你應該會發現這本書的結尾比開頭好。
　　You may well get angry with him. 你大可對他發脾氣。

　　may as well + V ...
　　結構︰may as well+原形動詞
　　說明︰此句型意為“最好…;不妨…”。等於 had better，但<語氣>比較委婉。
　　We may as well leave the table after dinner is over. 晚餐後我們不妨離開桌子。
　　You may as well keep it a secret. 你最好將這件事保密。
