step iv grammar
t:well,so much for word study.1n the text about xiao hua, we’ve also learnt some sentences in the subjunctive mood.now please look at the sentences on the screen.
l.i wish i could remember more about my mum.
2.i wish she were here with me and that we weren’t sick.
3.i wish people would find out the facts and not act as if i were a bad or dangerous person.
4.if i were you,i would give an aids patient a hug.
5.if i had hiv,i would know because i would feel sick.
pay attention to the underlined parts.we can see the subjunctive mood in each sentence is expressed with a special verb—form.for example,after “wish ”and “as if”, a past tense is used to express a present meaning,“would +an infinitive ”to express a future meaning.is that so?
