第十周 虚拟语气
一、if条件从句中的虚拟语气

③Grace doesn't want to move to New York because she thinks if she were to live there, she wouldn't be able to see her parents very often.(2012·安徽高考)
格雷丝不想搬到纽约,因为她认为,如果她住到那里去,她就不能经常看到父母了。 [规律总结] if条件句中虚拟语气的用法
if条件从句 表示现在情况 从句的谓语形式 动词过去式(be的过去式用were) had+过去分词 should+动词原形 表示将来情况 动词过去式 were to+动词原形
二、错综时间条件句的虚拟语气
I actually believe that we would be in Xi'an now if you hadn't been caught drunk driving last month.(2014·北京海淀模拟)
事实上,我认为如果上个月你没因酒驾被逮住的话,我们现在就在西安呢。
If you hadn't left home without a word, your parents wouldn't be so worried now.(2014·杭州一检)
要是你说句话离开家,你父母现在就不会那么担心了。 [规律总结]
当条件状语从句表示的行为和主句表示的行为所发生的时间不一致时,被称为“错综时间条件句”,动词的形式要根据它所表示的时间做出相应的调整。
三、省略if的倒装句
①If I were at school again, I would study harder. →Were I at school again, I would study harder.
should/would/could/might+动词原形 主句的谓语形式 should/would/could/might+动词原形 should/would/could/might+have+过去分词 表示过去情况 如果我还有上学的机会,我会更加努力地学习。
②Had they known what was coming next, they might have had second thoughts.(2012·浙江高考)
要是他们知道下一步发生什么,他们会三思的。
③If it should rain tomorrow, we would not go climbing. →Should it rain tomorrow, we would not go climbing. 如果明天下雨的话,我们就不去登山了。 [规律总结]
在虚拟条件状语从句中可省略if,把were, had, should提到句首,变为倒装句式。 四、含蓄条件句的虚拟语气
①I'm really very busy, otherwise I would go shopping with you.(2014·湖南长郡中学等十二校二次联考)
我真的很忙,否则我就和你一起去购物了。
②I would have come sooner but I didn't know that they were waiting for me.(2011·天津高考)
我本该早一些到,但我不知道他们在等我。 [规律总结]
有时假设的情况并不以条件从句表示,而是由otherwise, but, or, without, but for等来引导或者通过上下文引出。
五、(should+) do ...结构的虚拟语气
①Teachers recommend parents not allow their children under 12 to ride bicycles to school for safety.(2010·福建高考)
老师们建议父母,为了安全不要让他们12岁以下的孩子骑车上学。
