4、虚拟语气

表示动作或状态不是客观存在的事实(非真实),而是说话人的主观愿望,假设或推测等;

If I were you, I should study English.


虚拟语气在条件从句的用法:

一类是真实条件句;一类是非真实条件句,也就是虚拟条件句;

如果假设的情况是有可能发生的,就是真实条件句,谓语要用陈述语气;

如果假设的情况是过去或现在都不存在的,或将来不大可能发生的,则是虚拟条件句;

If it doesn't rain tomorrow, we will go to the park.  # 主将从现(客观事实)

If he had seen you yesterday, he would have asked you about it.  # 虚拟语气


if或以下短语都可引导:

without没有,缺乏,除非,如果不;

but for要不是、如果没有;

otherwise,否则,不是那样的;

in that case,假如那样的话;

under this condition在这种情况下;

从句(条件句)

主句(结果句)

有时省略if,采用局部倒装(倒装只和主谓有关)语序,把had|should|were等动词(不包括行为动词)移到从句的句首;

Were it to rain tomorrow, our picnic would be canceled.

Had it not been for the storm, we would have arrived in time.

Should the earth stop running, what would happen?
