虚拟语气
(1)
动词的语气表示说话人的态度和看法,可分为陈述语气、祈使语气和虚拟语气。陈述语气用来陈述讲话人认为是事实的事情,有肯定、否定、疑问和感叹等形式。祈使语气用来说明说话人的请求、命令等。虚拟语气表示说话人的愿望、假设或建议,而不表示客观存在的事实。虚拟语气通过谓语动词的特殊形式来表示。
如果假设的情况发生的可能性不大,则用虚拟条件句。虚拟条件句分为三种,见下表:
假设情况
条件从句的谓语形式
主句的谓语形式
与现在事实相反
过去式
(be
的过去式
常用
were)
would
/should/
might/
could
+动词原形
与将来事实相反
过去式
should
+动词原形
were to

would
/should/

过去完成式

+过去分词
)
would
/should/
might/
could
+
have
+过去分词

(be
用

②D
[
根据主句中的时间状语
now
,可知表示与现在情况相反,故主句中谓语动词的形式为
would

had
+动词的
ed
形式,省略
if
时,要将
had
