PeriodIII Word and Grammarw
虛擬語氣(一)
虛擬語氣表示所說的不是客觀存在的事實，而是說話人的主觀愿望、假設或建議等。虛擬語氣的構成比較特殊，它有各種不同的動詞形式，表示各種不同的情況，這些動詞所表示的意思一般與事實相反。這種虛擬語氣一般因所指時間的不同分為三種情況：與現在事實相反，與過去事實相反，與將來可能發生的事實相反，現分述如下：
一．虛擬語氣在條件句中的用法
這種虛擬語氣一般因所指時間的不同分為三種情況：與現在事實相反，與過去事實相反，與將來可能發生的事實相反，現分述如下：
▲ 表示與現在事實相反，動詞形式如下：
if從句謂語動詞形式 主句謂語動詞形式
動詞過去式(be的過去式一般用were) would，should，could，might+動詞原形
1).If my brother were here, everything would be all right.
2). If I were you, I would tell him the truth.
3).If they didn’t take physical exercise every day, they wouldn’t be so healthy.
4)If I had the book at hand, I would read the passage to you.
如果他現在在這里，他會幫助我。
如果更多的人了解急救知識，就能挽救更多的生命。
▲ 表示與過去事實相反，動詞形式如下：
if從句謂語動詞形式 主句謂語動詞形式
had+過去分詞 would，should，could，might +have+過去分詞
1）If you had studied harder, you would have passed the exam.
2）I would have overslept if she hadn't called me.
3）If the hurricane had happened during the daytime, there would have been many more deaths..
4）If I had taken your advice, I would not have made such a big mistake.

如果你早幾分鐘來，你就能看到那個著名的科學家。
Without his help, we ______ the work in such a short time.
A. couldn’t finish B. couldn’t have finished
C. can’t finish D. can’t have finished
▲ 表示與將來可能發生的事實相反，動詞形式如下：
if從句謂語動詞形式 主句謂語動詞形式
①should+動詞原形
②過去式(be一般用were)
③were to do would，should，could，might+動詞原形
1）lf it should rain / rained / were to rain) tomorrow, I wouldn't go out.
2）lf it were Sunday tomorrow, I should go to see my grandmother.
3）If it should rain, the crops would be saved.
4）If I were to do it, I would do it in a different way.
如果我們能在海底建造城市，那將會是一座現代化的大城市。
即使我們失敗了，我們也不會失去信心。
▲有時條件從句中的動作與主句的動作發生時間不一致，這時動詞形式根據動作 的具體時間決定，這種主從復合句稱為混合條件句。但根據“條件結果句”的邏輯關系，一般條件部分發生在過去，結果部分發生在現在或將來。如：
①If you had followed the doctor's advice, you would be well now.
②You would speak English well enough if you had practised reading and speaking it everyday.
[注]但偶爾也有表示“超時間”的條件，這時主從句的時間關系就與上述一般情況正好相反。如：If I were you, I would have gone with her.
▲在書面語中，有時if條件句可采用倒裝形式，其規則是，如果if從句中含有were, had或should時，則可省略連詞if，將were，should或had移至句首。如：
①Were I you ( = if I were you), I would take the job.
②Had they not helped us, ( = if they had not helped us) we wouldn't have succeeded.
③Had you come yesterday ( = if you had come yesterday), you would have met him.
④Should it rain tomorrow (= If it Should rain tomorrow) what would you do7
⑤Were it not for the sun (= if it were not for the sun), nothing would exist on the earth.
[注]上述這種倒裝形式，一般用于書面語中，不用于口語中。
二．虛擬語氣在名詞從句中的用法
1. wish + that..
wish +賓語從句”表示不能實現的愿望，“可惜…”；“…就好了”；“悔不該…”；“但愿”
表示現在不能實現的愿望，從句的謂語動詞用過去式；

表示將來不能實現的愿望，用would + /could +動詞原形

I wish you could go with us.
We wish we had arrived there two hours earlier.
I wished I hadn’t been so forgetful. Then I shouldn’t have missed the talk.
I wish I hadn’t said that.
I wish I could fly to the moon in a spaceship one day
2. 凡是表示 “堅持、命令、建議、要求”，that引導的名詞性從句謂語要用“should + 動詞原形”（其中should表示“應該/必須”，可以省略），常見的詞有：堅持（insist）、命令（order/ command）、建議（advise – advice / suggest – suggestion / propose – proposal / recommend – recommendation ）、要求（require – requirement / request/ demand）

3. It is necessary/ important/ strange that sb. (should) do sth.

三 虛擬語氣在方式狀語從句中的用法
