1、Subjunctive Mood 虚拟语气,虚拟语气 1) 概念 虚拟语气用来表示说话人的主观愿望或假想,所说的是一个条件,不一定是事实,或与事实相反。,Revision,一、在条件句中的应用,条件句可分为两类,一类为真实条件句,一类为非真实条件句。非真实条件句表示的是假设的或实际可能性不大的情况,故采用虚拟语气。,在条件状语从句和结果状语从句中,表示与事实相反的条件和结果。 1) 与现在事实相反: If 主语 , 主语 +V原 2)与过去事实相反: If 主语 ,主语 +have V-ed 3)与将来事实相反: If 主语 , 主语 +V原,were V-ed,should (would c
2、ould, might),should (would could, might),should were to,should (would could, might),had V-ed,虚拟语气假设条件句型注意点:,1.假设条件从句谓语动词发生的时间与主句所假设的谓语动词不一致,叫做错综条件虚拟语气。主句和从句的谓语动词要依照假设的时间而顶。 If the weather had been finer, the crops would be growing still better. If you had followed the teachers advice, you wouldnt be
3、 in the hospital.,2.假设条件虚拟倒装。 条件从句中有should, were, had三个助动词可以把if省略,并将这三个词提至句首。 If I were you, I would give it up. Were I you, I would give it up.

5、是你,就会去找他。,If he were here, everything would be all right. 如果他在这儿,一切都会好的。,典型例题 _ to do the work, I should do it some other day. A. If were IB. I were C. Were I D. Was I,在虚拟条件状语中如果有were, should, had这三个词主语提前, 变成 were, should, had +主语的形式。但要注意,在虚拟条件状语从句中,省略连词的倒装形式的句首不能用动词的缩略形式。如我们可说 Were I not to do., 而不
