高中英语虚拟语气知识点
1)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。虚拟语气在条件句中应用比较多。
2)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。
16.1 真实条件句用于陈述语气,假设的情况有可能发生。各种结构参见下表:
句 型 条件从句 主句
一般现在时 shall/will + 动词原形
祈使句
情态动词一般现在时
例如:If he comes, he will bring his violin. 如果他来,会带小提琴来的。
典型例题
The volleyball match will be put off if it ___.
A. will rain B. rains C. rained D. is rained
答案B。真实条件句主句为将来时,从句用一般现在时。
注意:
1)在真实条件句中,主句不能用be going to表示将来,该用shall, will.
(错) If you leave now, you are never going to regret it.
(对) If you leave now, you will never regret it.
2)表示真理时,主句谓语动词不用shall (will) +动词原形,而直接用一般现在时的动词形式。
16.2 非真实条件句
1)虚拟语气可以表示过去,现在和将来的情况,时态的'基本特点是时态往后推移。
a. 与现在事实相反的假设
条件从句 主句
一般过去时(be用were) should(would)等 +动词原形
例如:If they were here, they would help you. 如果他们在这儿,会帮助你的。
含义:They are not here, they can’t help you.
b. 与过去事实相反的假设
条件从句 主句
过去完成时 should(would)等+ have+ 过去分词
例如:If he had come yesterday, I should / would have told him about it.如果他昨天来的话,我会把这件事告诉他的。
含义:He did not come yesterday, so I did not tell him about it.
c. 表示对将来不大可能发生的事情的假想
条件从句 主句
一般过去时 should/would等 + 动词原形
were+ 不定式
should+ 动词原形
例如:If you succeeded, everything would be all right. 如果你将来成功了,一切都会好的。
If you should succeed, everything would be all right.
If you were to succeed, everything would be all right.
含义:You are not likely to succeed, everything will be what it is now.
