Chapter 2 Educational visits（語法）

（2）在suggest，demand，order，propose，insist，command，request，desire等動詞后的賓語從句中，謂語動詞用“should + 動詞原形”，表示建議、要求、命令等。如: i demand that he （should） answer me immediately. 我要求他立刻答復我。
3、虛擬語氣在狀語從句中的用法
（1）在帶有even if/ even though引導的讓步狀語從句的主從復合句中，主句和從句都用虛擬語氣，動詞形式與含有非真實條件句的虛擬語氣相同。如: even if he had been ill, he would have g one to his office. 即使生了病，他都去辦公室。
（2）由as if或as though引導的狀語從句表示比較或方式時。從句謂語形式為動詞的過去式（be用were）或 “had+過去分詞”。如: he treated me as if i were a stranger. 他那樣對待我，好像我是陌生人似的。she talked about the film as if  she had really seen it. 她談論那部影片，就好像她確實看過一樣。
注:如果表示的事情可能會發生，那么方式狀語從句中的謂語動詞可用陳述語氣。
（3）在in order that或so that引導的目的狀語 從句中，謂語動詞多用 “could或might（有時也用should）+ 動詞原形”。如: mr green spoke slowly so that his students could （might） hear clearly. 格林先生說得很慢，好讓學生聽清楚。
4、虛擬語氣在定語從句中的用法：在 “it is time （that） …”句型中，定語從句的謂語動詞常用虛擬語氣表示將來，動詞形式一般用過去式，意思是“該干某事的時候了”。如: it’s （high） time we did our homework. 我們該做作業了。
5、虛擬語氣在簡單句中的用法
（1）情態動詞的過去式用于現在時態時，表示說話人的謙虛、客氣、有禮貌，或委婉的語氣，常見于日常會話中。如: it would be better for you not to stay up too late. 你最好別太晚睡覺。
（2）在一些習慣表達中。如: i would rather not tell you. 我寧愿不告訴你。
（3）用“may + 動詞原形”表示“祝愿”、“但愿”，此時may須置于句首（多用于正式文體中）。如：may you be happy!祝你快樂！may good luck be yours.祝你順利。
