Test Fifteen
名词性分句中的虚拟语气
虚拟式常用于出现在wish, would rather, suppose, imagine之后的that分句中,表示一种臆想的(通常是不可能发生的)情况。例如:
I wish it were spring all the year round.
I’d rather I were not at the site of the accident.
在“It’s time + that分句”结构中,that分句中应使用一般过去时。例如:
It’s time that I went.
在If I were you 这一分句中,were不能换成was,应当特殊对待。例如:
Were I to do it (If I were to do it), I should rely on you.
