数的变化，后接动词原形，其否定形式为shouldn’t。

动词原形，其否定形式为couldn’t。
You could go out and buy her some medicine. 你可以出去给她买些药。
二、 提建议的表达方式
1. 用Why not...?来提出建议，表示＂何不……?＂，not后接动词原形。＂Why not...?＂实际上是

The meeting may last until Friday. 会议可能要延续到星期五。
Mark will be working until 5 o’clock. 马克将一直工作到五点钟。
【注意】由上面两个例句可知：until用于肯定句中表示动作一直持续到until短语所表示的时间

性动词，如：live，wait，last，love，like，stay，work等。

①用于肯定句中

（1）so that引导目的状语从句，从句谓语动词常用情态动词may/might/can/could等。
We went early so that we could get good seats. 为了占到好座位，我们早早就去了。
（2）so that引导目的状语从句，当主句主语与从句主语一致时，可用＂so as to(in order to)＋动词
原形＂转化为简单句。
He got up early so that he could catch the early bus.
=He got up early in order to/so as to catch the early bus.为了赶早班公交车他起床很早。
（3）so that还可以与in order that互换。
