英语四级语法虚拟语气

虚拟语气

一．一般虚拟条件句

(1) 与现在事实相反

——If I were you, I wouldn’t worry.

——If I had the book at hand, I would read the passage to you.

那么，虚拟语气现在时的句型为：

从句：If + 主语＋动词过去式(be 变were) +…

主句：主语＋ would (should ,could ,might ) + 动词原形＋…

(2) 与过去事实相反

——If you had gone to last night’s games, you would have met him.

——If the policeman had arrived earlier, he would have seen the accident.

那么，虚拟语气过去时的结构是：

从句：If＋主语＋过去完成时…

主句：主语＋should (或would,could,might) + 现在完成时…

(3) 与将来事实相反

——If he should come tomorrow, I would give him the dictionary he needs.

——If Mr. Li were to do the experiment tomorrow,

he might read the instructions carefully.

那么虚拟语气将来时的句型是：

从句：If+主语＋should (或were to )+动词原形＋…主句：同虚拟语气现在时的主句结构。

练习：

1.If this report were more accurate, it __________ an invaluable document.

been be be

(D)

2.I _______ in trouble if the police had stopped me.

have been be been

(B)

3.What would you do if war _________ out.

二、在if引导的虚拟条件句中，若有were, had, should，可省去if,将were, had, should提到主语前，形成倒装。例如：

——Should there be a meeting tomorrow, he would

tell you.

——Had it not been for your help, we would not have achieved so much.

三. 由as if /as though引导的从句中用过去时表示

对现在虚拟，用过去完成时表示对过去事实的虚拟。例如：

过去式表与现在事实相反)

—— He appeared as if he had known nothing about it.

(用过去完成式表与过去相反的事实)
