虚拟条件句
定义:在一个与事实相反的条件的基础之上所得出的应该的亦或是可能的结论。
虚拟条件句的结构:与事实相反类(条件)+ 应该类(结论)
这两个部分没有必然而直接的联系,在解题时先看结论再看条件。
If Mr. Wang hadn't cultivated me, I shouldn't be working now.
同义词辨析:tame 驯化 breed 繁殖 raise 抚养 cultivate 培养
结论部分:would/ could/ should/ might + 虚拟
规律:如果把空格划在条件部分,一定要选择 were to;
如果把空格划在结论部分,有could/ would/ should/ might +have +v.-ed 为正确答案。
有时一些介词也可以表示条件:In your position I would kill myself. = If I were in your position...
此类词有:otherwise/ but for/ without/ with
虚拟语气中 If 可以省略,但是句序要变,If I were you... 改为Were I you...
