虚拟 语气

第一节：if引导的条件句中的虚拟语气

虚拟语气表示一种不能实现的假设。该语法主要用于if条件状语从句。

一、if引导的条件状语从句的分类及虚拟条件句的判断

1、可以把条件句分为两类：

1).真实条件句(Sentences of Real Condition)：凡是假设的情况发生性可能很大，就是真实条件句。例如：

⑴、If I have time , I will help you with this work.如果我有时间会帮助你做此工作的。

⑵、As long as I say anything wrong, you must point it out.只要我说了什么错话，你一定要指出来。

⑶、If time permits, we'll go fishing together.(如果有时间的话，我们就一起去钓鱼。)

2).虚拟条件句(Sentences of Unreal Condition)：当假设是不大可能实现时，就是虚拟条件句。例如：

⑴、If I were you , I would have attended the meeting. 如果我是你的话，就去参

加会议了。

⑵、If he had come here yesterday, he would have seen his old friend.假如他昨天来这儿的话，就会看见他的老朋友。

⑴、If it had rained yesterday, we would have stayed at home.(如果昨天下雨的话，我们就会留在家里。)

2、.if条件状语从句中虚拟语气的判断

判断是真实条件句还是非真实条件句。只有在非真实条件句中才使用虚拟语气。通过句子意思，看假设的条件是否能够实现，能够实现是真实条件句，不能使用虚拟语气;假设的条件不能实现则是非真实条件句，要用虚拟语气。

判断这个假设是与哪个事实相反。通常有三种情况：①与过去事实相反。②与现在事实相反。③与将来事实可能相反。

3、“后退一步法”

后退一步法是指在准确地判断了该句与哪一事实相反后，按虚拟语气的后退一步法处理从句谓语动词的时态。即：在非真实条件状语从句中，谓语动词按正常情况“后退一步”。也就是：

①与过去事实相反，在从句中用过去完成时形式表示。

②与现在事实相反，在从句中用过去一般时形式表示。

③与将来事实可能相反，在从句中用过去将来时形式表示。

主句中则用情态动词would, should, could 等加一个与从句一致的动词形式。例：

⑴、If I had come here yesterday, I would have seen him.

⑵、If I were a teacher, I would be strict with my students.

⑶、If it should snow tomorrow, they couldn't go out.

4、注意事项

①if条件句中如有were, should, had，可以省去if，并使用倒装语序。

②在现代英语中if条件状与从句中的谓语动词如果是be其过去形式一般用were。

二、虚拟语气在if 引导的条件句中的用法：

(一)、表示与现在事实相反的情况。其句子结构为：

从句：if + 主语+ 动词的过去式(be 用were) + ……

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

例：

1.If I were you, I would go with him.

2.If the weather were fine, I would go there.

如果天气好，我去那儿。(事实天气不好)

3.If I were you, I would read it again.

如果没有你们的帮助，我们就会陷入困境。(而事实上得到了你们的帮助)

9.If we had the manpower, we could open up even more land.

如果有人力,我们还能开更多的荒地.

10. If I were you, I would go with him.

(从句If I were you, 主句I would go with him.)

11. If I were you, I should buy it.

(从句用过去式动词were，主句用动词原形buy)

12. If I had time, I would study French.

(如果有时间，我会学习法文。)(从句用过去式动词had，主句用动词原形study)

13. If she knew English, she would not ask me for help.

(如果她懂英文，她就不必要我帮了。)(从句用过去式动词knew, 主句用动词原形ask)

注意：如果动作在进行中，主句要用：\"主语+ would be + 进行式动词+ ……\"

14. If they were here, he would be speaking to them now.

(从句用过去式动词were, 主句用would be speaking)

(二)、表示与过去事实相反的虚拟条件句。其句子结构为：

从句：If + 主语+ had +过去完成式动词+ ……

主句：主语+ would (should, could, might) + have +过去完成式动词+……
