as if用法点滴
as if 是连词,引导方式状语从句或表语从句,意思是“好像----似的”,“仿佛---似的”。其用法如下:
1引导含有虚拟语气的从句,表示情况不是真的,而是主观的想象. 如果表示和现在事实相反, 从句谓语用过去时。 例如:
He talks as if he knew all about it.
Mr Wang speaks English as if he were an Englishman.
表示和过去事实相反, 从句谓语用过去完成时。例如
He looks as if he had seen a ghost.
2 as if 引导的从句也可以表示真实的情况,如:
She walks as if there is something wrong with her foot.
It looks as if it is going to rain.
It seems as if the boy has lost his way.
3 as if 后面可以直接接不定式或分词,这实际上是从句的省略形式。
如果从句的动作在主句的动作之后,是主句谓语的目的状语,as if 后面就接不定式,例如:
He opened his lips as if to say something
She is hurrying to the station as if to meet someone.
4如果从句的动作和主句的动作同时发生,as if 后面就接现在分词,例如:
Bob is anxiously looking around as if expecting someone.
The man cried with all his strength as if hoping to be heard by everyone.
5如果从句的动作先于主句的动作且表示被动,as if 后面就接过去分词,例如:
The letter is messy and confusing as if written in a great hurry.
