大学英语四六级考试虚拟语气详解资料

　　3、“后退一步法”

　　后退一步法是指在准确地判断了该句与哪一事实相反后，按虚拟语气的后退一步法处理从句谓语动词的时态。即：在非真实条件状语从句中，谓语动词按正常情况“后退一步”。也就是：

　　①与过去事实相反，在从句中用过去完成时形式表示。

　　②与现在事实相反，在从句中用过去一般时形式表示。

　　③与将来事实可能相反，在从句中用过去将来时形式表示。

　　主句中则用情态动词would, should, could 等加一个与从句一致的动词形式。例：

　　⑴、If I had come her yesterday, I would have seen him.

　　⑵、If I were a teacher, I would be strict with my students.

　　⑶、If it should snow tomorrow, they couldn't go out.

　　4、注意事项

　　①if条件句中如有were, should, had，可以省去if，并使用倒装语序。

　　②在现代英语中if条件状与从句中的谓语动词如果是be其过去形式一般用were。

　　二、虚拟语气在if 引导的条件句中的用法：

　　(一)、表示与现在事实相反的情况。其句子结构为：

　　从句：if + 主语+ 动词的过去式(be 用were) + ……

　　主句：主语+ would (should, could , might) + 动词原形+ ……

　　例：

　　1.If I were you, I would go with him.

　　2.If the weather were fine, I would go there.

　　如果天气好，我去那儿。(事实天气不好)

　　3.If I were you, I would read it again.

　　如果我是你的话，我再读一遍。(事实上我不是你)

　　4.If time permitted, I would write it again.

　　如果时间允许的话，我再写一遍。(事实上时间不允许)

　　5.If it weren’t snowing, we wouldn’t stay in the house.

　　要是现在不下雪的话，我们就不会待在屋里。(事实上现在下雪)

　　6.What would I do if I were in your place?

　　要是我处于你地位我会怎么办?(事实上我不在你的位置上)

　　7.If he hurried, he could catch the first bus.

　　他要是快点能够赶上头班公共汽车。(可是他不着急)

　　8.If it weren’t for your help, we would get into trouble.

　　如果没有你们的帮助，我们就会陷入困境。(而事实上得到了你们的帮助)

　　9.If we had the manpower, we could open up even more land.

　　如果有人力,我们还能开更多的荒地.

　　10. If I were you, I would go with him.

　　(从句If I were you, 主句I would go with him.)

　　11. If I were you, I should buy it.

　　(从句用过去式动词were，主句用动词原形buy)

　　12. If I had time, I would study French.

　　(如果有时间，我会学习法文。)(从句用过去式动词had，主句用动词原形study)

　　13. If she knew English, she would not ask me for help.

　　(如果她懂英文，她就不必要我帮了。)(从句用过去式动词knew, 主句用动词原形ask)

　　注意：如果动作在进行中，主句要用："主语+ would be + 进行式动词+ ……"

　　14. If they were here, he would be speaking to them now.

　　(从句用过去式动词were, 主句用would be speaking)

　　(二)、表示与过去事实相反的虚拟条件句。其句子结构为：

　　从句：If + 主语+ had +过去完成式动词+ ……

　　主句：主语+ would (should, could, might) + have +过去完成式动词+……
