这种表示假定、想象、愿望等的非事实观念的语气就叫虚拟语气。
英语的语气分三大类:
陈述语气:用来叙述一件事实。
祈使语气:表达说话人的请求或命令。
虚拟语气:表示说话人的愿望,假设,猜测或建议, 而不是表示客观存在的事实。
虚拟语气在各种句式中的用法:
( 一 ) 用于条件状语从句
1、真实条件句和虚拟条件句
真实条件句:If I have time, I shall(will) go to see you.
If you move, I’ll shoot you.
虚拟条件句:
If I were a bird, I would fly there.
If I were a student, I would do it.
If +主语+动词过去式(be动词一律用were)
主语 + would /should/could/ might +动词原形
If +主语+had+过去分词
主语 + would/should/could/ might + have + 过去分词
动词的过去式或should/were to+动词原形
主语 + would/should/could/ might + 动词原形
