虛擬語(yǔ)氣用在條件狀語(yǔ)從句中
虛擬語(yǔ)氣是一種特殊的動(dòng)詞形式，表示所說(shuō)的話不是一個(gè)事實(shí)，而衹是一種假設(shè)，願(yuàn)望，建議，懷疑，猜測(cè)或不大可能實(shí)現(xiàn)的空想。
I.虛擬語(yǔ)氣用在條件狀語(yǔ)從句中
虛擬語(yǔ)氣用在條件狀語(yǔ)從句中，通常從句由連詞if 引導(dǎo)。
1.與現(xiàn)在事實(shí)相反的虛擬條件句
| If +主語(yǔ) +動(dòng)詞過(guò)去式 | 主語(yǔ)+ would, should, could, might+原形動(dòng)詞 (be的過(guò)去式用were) |
例如：
If I feared death, I wouldn't be a communist.
（劉衚蘭）怕死就不做共産黨員。
If there were no air, we couldn't live.
如果沒(méi)有空氣，我們就不能生活。

A. had known B. knew C. have known D. know
I _____ it to him if I thought he would understand.
A. shall explain B. will explain C. would explain D. explain
2.與過(guò)去事實(shí)相反的虛擬條件句
搆成
| If + 主語(yǔ) + 動(dòng)詞過(guò)去完成式 | 主語(yǔ) + would, should, could, might+have + 過(guò)去分詞 |
例如：
If you had come a few minutes earlier, you would have met him.
如果你早來(lái)幾分鍾，你就會(huì)碰上他。
If there had been no air in the tube, the result of the experiment would have been more accurate.

B. you won't have missed John
C. you will have met John
D. you would have met John
3.與將來(lái)事實(shí)相反的虛擬條件句
搆成
| If + 主語(yǔ)+ should +原形動(dòng)詞 | 主語(yǔ)+would,should,could,might或were+不定式+原形動(dòng)詞 |
例如：
If he were to come tomorrow, things would be easier.
假如他明天會(huì)來(lái)，事情就容易辦了。
If the sand should be broken up, it would give out much energy.
如果沙子能被分解，它會(huì)釋放出大量的能量。
注：在表示與將來(lái)事實(shí)相反的虛擬條件句中，從句中的should有時(shí)可以省略。如：

要是他來(lái)搞這個(gè)設(shè)計(jì)，他可能用另外的方法設(shè)計(jì)。

4.錯(cuò)綜時(shí)間的虛擬語(yǔ)氣
在一些含有虛擬語(yǔ)氣的句子中，如果主句與從句的謂語(yǔ)表示不同的時(shí)間，虛擬語(yǔ)氣可有不同形式，即主句與從句各自按自己的時(shí)間搆成虛擬形式。例如：
If I had met him before, I could recognize him.要是我以前遇見(jiàn)過(guò)他，我就能認(rèn)出他了。
（從句表示與過(guò)去事實(shí)相反，主句表示與現(xiàn)在或?qū)?lái)事實(shí)相反）
If we were driving at a speed of 100 Li an hour, we would have arrived there 2 hours ago. 如果我們的行車速度每小時(shí)100裡，兩小時(shí)以前我們就會(huì)到達(dá)那裡了。
（從句與現(xiàn)在事實(shí)相反，主句與過(guò)去事實(shí)相反）
Example:
If you _____ that late movie last night, you wouldn't be sleepy.
A. haven't watched
B. didn't watch
C. hadn't watched
D. wouldn't have watched
5.省略連詞if
在條件狀語(yǔ)從句中，如果有were, should, had，可以把連詞if 省去，把 were, should, had 放在句首，搆成條件意義。例如：
Should it rain tomorrow, what would you do? 萬(wàn)一明天下雨，你怎麼辦？
Were there no friction, we could not walk. 要是沒(méi)有摩擦力，我們就不能行走。

6.虛擬結(jié)搆中省略主句或從句
虛擬結(jié)搆中有時(shí)可省去主句或從句，竝不影響意義的完整。
(1)省去條件從句
