1、只单纯表示条件
- 条件状语从句。用“if”引导条件状语从句,从句为现在时,通常翻译为“如果···”。
- 例句:
- If you get up early,you will catch up with the train.
- if引导的条件状语从句,可以放在句首,也可以放在句尾。
- 例句:
- If you ask him,he will help you.
- She will be upset if you fail the exam.
2、与现在事实相反的虚拟语气
- if从句式一种虚拟的条件或假设,和现在事实相反的。主句时态具体如下:
- 从句:被动过去式(be用were)
- 主句:would/could/should/might+动词原形
- 例句:
- If I were you, I would join them.
- She would come with you if you invted her.
3、与过去事实相反的虚拟语气
- if从句是一种虚拟的条件或假设,和过去事实相反的。
- 主从句的时态具体如下:
- 从句:had+动词过去分词
- 主句:would/could/should/might+have+动词过去分词
- 例句:
- If I
had got
there earlier, Ishould have met
her. - If he
had taken
my abvice,hewould not have made
such a mistake.
- If I
4、wish/as if +过去时/过去完成时
- wish后面的从句,翻译为:“希望···就好了”,是不可能实现的假设。
- 与现在事实相反的愿望
I wish I were as tall as you.(一般过去时) - 与过去事实相反的愿望
He wished he hadn’t said that.(过去完成时) - 将来不大可能实现的愿望
I wish it would rain tomorrow.(would/should/could)
- 与现在事实相反的愿望
