Practice 1：情态动词 may 和 can 在构成疑问句时，都用倒装句型，移到主语之前，有时都可表示“可以”的意思，但 may 有“许可”的含义，can 有“能够”的含义。

MARTIN: Of course.
SUE: May I phone Jennifer now?
EILEEN: No. It's time for dinner.
SUE: Can we go to the movies tomorrow?

SUE: Can we go at six o'clock?
MARTIN: No, that's very late.
SUE: When can I go to Jennifer's house?
EILEEN: You can go to Jennifer's house in the morning.
