PeriodIII Word and Grammarw
虚拟语气(一)
虚拟语气表示所说的不是客观存在的事实，而是说话人的主观愿望、假设或建议等。虚拟语气的构成比较特殊，它有各种不同的动词形式，表示各种不同的情况，这些动词所表示的意思一般与事实相反。这种虚拟语气一般因所指时间的不同分为三种情况：与现在事实相反，与过去事实相反，与将来可能发生的事实相反，现分述如下：
一．虚拟语气在条件句中的用法
这种虚拟语气一般因所指时间的不同分为三种情况：与现在事实相反，与过去事实相反，与将来可能发生的事实相反，现分述如下：
▲ 表示与现在事实相反，动词形式如下：
if从句谓语动词形式 主句谓语动词形式
动词过去式(be的过去式一般用were) would，should，could，might+动词原形
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.
如果他现在在这里，他会帮助我。
如果更多的人了解急救知识，就能挽救更多的生命。
▲ 表示与过去事实相反，动词形式如下：
if从句谓语动词形式 主句谓语动词形式
had+过去分词 would，should，could，might +have+过去分词
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.

A. couldn’t finish B. couldn’t have finished
C. can’t finish D. can’t have finished
▲ 表示与将来可能发生的事实相反，动词形式如下：
if从句谓语动词形式 主句谓语动词形式
①should+动词原形
②过去式(be一般用were)
③were to do would，should，could，might+动词原形
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.
如果我们能在海底建造城市，那将会是一座现代化的大城市。
即使我们失败了，我们也不会失去信心。
▲有时条件从句中的动作与主句的动作发生时间不一致，这时动词形式根据动作 的具体时间决定，这种主从复合句称为混合条件句。但根据“条件结果句”的逻辑关系，一般条件部分发生在过去，结果部分发生在现在或将来。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]但偶尔也有表示“超时间”的条件，这时主从句的时间关系就与上述一般情况正好相反。如：If I were you, I would have gone with her.
▲在书面语中，有时if条件句可采用倒装形式，其规则是，如果if从句中含有were, had或should时，则可省略连词if，将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]上述这种倒装形式，一般用于书面语中，不用于口语中。
二．虚拟语气在名词从句中的用法
1. wish + that..
wish +宾语从句”表示不能实现的愿望，“可惜…”；“…就好了”；“悔不该…”；“但愿”

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.

2. 凡是表示 “坚持、命令、建议、要求”，that引导的名词性从句谓语要用“should + 动词原形”（其中should表示“应该/必须”，可以省略），常见的词有：坚持（insist）、命令（order/ command）、建议（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.
