虚拟语气(Subjunctive Mood)这一语法项目是各类英语考试中心测试的重点之一。虚拟语气是一种特殊的动词形式,用来表示说话人所说的话并不是事实,而是一种假设、愿望、怀疑或推测。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。通常有三种情况与过去事实相反。与现在事实相反。与将来事实可能相反。
I: 最基本的虚拟语气句型:
1. 虚拟现在时表示与现在事实相反的假设,其if 从句的谓语形式用动词的过去式(be 一般用were)主句would/ should/ could/ might +动词原形If places were alike, there would be little need for geographers.如果各个地方都一样,就不需要地理学家了。
2. 虚拟过去时是表示与过去事实相反的假设,if 从句的谓语形式用过去完成时had+过去分词,主句用would / should / could / might + have +过去分词。If he had known your address yesterday,he would have telephoned you.
3. 虚拟将来时是表示对将来实现的可能性很小的或不确定的假设If从句的谓语形式用一般过去式或用were to / should +动词原形主句would / should/could/ might +动词原形If he were to leave today, he would get there by Friday
4.
省略if 采用倒装语序的条件句。有时可以把含有助动词、情态动词、behave的虚拟条件句中的连词if省去,而将had , should, were
等词到主语之,即用倒装结构。If he had worked harder, he would have got through the exams.==>Had he worked harder, he would have got through the exams.If he were to leave today, he would get there by Friday.==>Were he to leave today, he would get there by Friday.If I were in your place, I wouldn’t do that.==>Were I in your place, I wouldn’t do that.
5. 有时虚拟条件句并没用if 从句表示出来,而是用介词短语(otherwise, or, without, but for)、上下文或其它方式来表示。如:We didn't know his telephone number; otherwise we would have telephoned him. Without you help, I wouldn’t have achieved so much. But for
要不是......”的意思)your help, I would not have succeeded.
II: 虚拟语气在从句中用should的情况:
1. 在表示建议,要求,命令,想法动词后的从句里, should + 动词原形, should 可以省略. advise, agree, command, decide, demand, determine, grant, indicate, insist, order, prefer, propose, request, require, stipulate, suggest, urge, vote.常考到的是: suggest, advise, demand, require, propose, insist, order, request.
