四、語法知識歸納梳理—虛擬語氣
中學(xué)生要掌握“虛擬語氣在條件句中的使用”、“虛擬語氣在賓語從句中的使用”、“虛擬語氣在表達(dá)‘愿望、主張’等從句中的使用”和“虛擬語氣在特殊結(jié)構(gòu)中的使用”等。這些是進(jìn)一步學(xué)習(xí)英語的重要基礎(chǔ)。現(xiàn)分述如下:
1.虛擬條件是指講話人認(rèn)為無法實現(xiàn)、不可能存在的條件。在考題中,出題人會將虛擬條件轉(zhuǎn)成其他的“事實”陳述,而不以if-clause的形式出現(xiàn)。
1)與現(xiàn)在事實不符的虛擬條件句
if professor zhang were here, he could/would/might/should help us.張教授現(xiàn)在如果在這里,他就能/就會/也許/應(yīng)該幫助我們。(四個情態(tài)動詞各表達(dá)講話人不同的講話態(tài)度,要注意選擇使用。)
2)與過去事實不符的虛擬條件句
if you had gone to the meeting yesterday, you should have known what was discussed there.昨天,你如果參加了會議,就應(yīng)該知道會議上討論了什么。
had tom met me before, i might have told him about it.湯姆要是早點(diǎn)兒遇到了我,我也許把這件事告訴過他了。(省略if就要將謂語部分的<第一個>動詞調(diào)到句首)
真題:
