虚拟语气的表达
If所引导的条件从句的谓语动词用虚拟语气,主句谓语动词也要用虚拟语气
1. 表示与现在的事实相反:
从句的谓语动词用过去时(be一律用were),主句用should(第一人称)/would(第二/三人称)/could/might + 动词原形
1.If I were you,I would take an umbrella.
如果我是你,我会带把伞。(事实:我不可能是你)
2.If I knew his telephone number,I would tell you.
如果我知道他的电话号码,我就会告诉你。(事实:不知道)
3.If there were no air or water,there would be no living things on the earth.
如果没有水和空气,地球上就不会有生物。(事实:地球上既有空气也有水)
4.If I had any money with me,I could lend you some.
如果我带钱了,我就会借给你些。(事实:没有带钱)
5.If he studied harder,he might pass the exam.
如果他再努力些,就能通过考试了。(事实:没有努力)
6.she looked at me as if I had been a stranger.
她看我的样子好像我是一个陌生人。(事实:我并非陌生人)
2. 表示与过去的事实相反:
从句的位于动词用had + 过去分词,主句用should(第一人称)/would(第二/三人称)/could/might + have + 动词过去分词
1. If I had got there earlier,I should/could have met her. 如果我早到那儿,我就会见到她。(事实:去晚了)
2.If he had taken my advice,he would not have made such a mistake. 如果他听我的劝告的话,就不会犯这样的错误了。(事实:没有听我的话)
3. 表示与将来的事实相反:
从句:①if+主语+were to do 主句:①主语+should/would/could/might+do
从句:②if+主语+did/were主句:②主语+should/would/could/might+do 从句:③if+主语+should+do主句:③主语+should/would/could/might+do
1.If he should come here tomorrow,I would talk to him.
如果他明天来这儿的话,我就跟他谈谈。(事实:来的可能性很小)
2.If there were a heavy snow next Sunday,we would not go skating.
如果下周日下大雪,我们就不能去滑冰了。(事实:下雪可能性很小)
3.If she were to be here next Monday,I would tell her about the matter.
如果她下周一来这儿的话,我就会告诉她这件事的始末。(事实:来的可能性很小)
当虚拟条件句的谓语动词含有were,should,had时,if可以省略,这时条件从句要用倒装语序,即把were,should,had等词置于句首,这种多用于书面语。eg:
Should he agree to go there,we would send him there.
要是他答应去的话,我们就派他去。
