虚拟语气(Subjunctive Mood) 用以表示不可能实现的愿望,想象,目的或者既不可能发生的事,或与事实相反的假设。这类句子通常由条件从句和主语从句构成。虚拟语气可分为三种: 1)与现实相反的假设
If I had enough money, I would/ could/ should travel around the world. If I were you, I would/ might go with them aboard. 2)与未来事实相反的假设
If the program should fail, what should the government do? If they should refuse the negotiation, we would prepare for the last hit. 注意:当条件从句should+动词原形,主句可用陈述句或祈使句 If it should rain tomorrow, we shall/ will not leave.
If it were to rain, we would call off the match. If you went there next time, you would see what we experience. (3) 与过去事实相反的假设
If I had study harder at school and home, I could/ might have passed this exam. If they had had much money, they could have bought the sailboat. 4) 虚拟语气句子中时态的混合使用:有时主句表示与现在事实相反,条件从句表示与过去事实相反。 If they had started a few days earlier, they could finish before the deadline. 5) if 的省略:虚拟语气中的IF可以省略,但主语和助动词或be动词必须易位 Were Mary here now, she would explain the situation for you. Should it happen, what would you do? Had he recognized me, he would have come over.
