虚拟语气的形式和用法
1、对现在的虚拟，表示与现在事实相反的假设时，条件状语从句的谓语动词用过去式（be的过去式用were.而主句中的谓语动词用would (should,could, might) + 动词原形。见下表：
条件状语从句的动词形式

I (we)should+动词原形
主语 + would (might, could)十动词原形

2、对过去的虚拟，表示与过去的事实相反的假设时，条件状语从句的谓语动词用过去完成时, 主句的谓语动词用would (should,could, might)+过去分词。见下表：
条件状语从司的动词形式
主句的动词形式
If+主语+had+过去分词

·You didn’t let me drive. If we haddriven in turn, you wouldn’t have got so tired. (fact: We didn’t drive in turn,so you have got so tired.)
3、表示与将来事实相反的假设，对将来表示怀疑，或将来的动作不太可能实现时，条件状语从句和主句的谓语动词有以下形式：（见表）
条件状语从句的动词形式(三种)
主句的动词形式
(1) If + 主语 + 动词过去式 (be的过去式用were). 通常要与一个表示将来的时间状语连用. (2)If+主语(任何人称和数)+should+动词原形
(3)if+主语(任何人称和数)+were to+动词原形
I (we)should+动词原形
主语+would (might, could)+动词原形
例句：
·If it rained tomorrow, our picnic wouldbe put off.
·If it should rain tomorrow, our picnicwould be put off.
·If it were to rain tomorrow, our picnicwould be put off.
·If you should fail, what would you do?
·If I were to see her tomorrow, I wouldtell her the truth.
·If it were to rain tomorrow, the meetingwould be put off.
·I bet Brazil will win the World Cup. Ifit should lose, I would treat you a meal.
注意：当条件状语从句表示的行为和主句表示的行为所发生的时间不一致时，动词的形式要根据它所表示的时间来调整。
If you had worked hard, you would be very tired. (从句说的是过去，主句指的是现在。)
If he had followed the doctor’s advice, he would bequite all right now.
If I were you, I would have gone home.
Ifshe hadn’t trained so hard, she wouldn’t be able to run so fast.
虚拟语气的其他句型和用法
1、用在“wish+宾语从句”中，表示很难实现或不能实现的愿望，可以翻译为“但愿…”, “悔不该…”等。表示现在不能实现的愿望，从句的谓语动词用过去式；表示将来的愿望，从句的谓语动词用“would(could)+动词原形”；对过去的事情表示愿望，从句的谓语动词用“had+过去分词” 或“could + have + 过去分词”。Wish 后面的宾语从句必须用虚拟语气，不管这个愿望是否能实现。如：
I wish it were spring all the year round.
I wish you could go with us.
We wish we had arrived there two hours earlier.
注意：wish 与hope接宾语从句的区别在于：hope表示一般可以实现的希望，宾语从句用陈述语气。Wish表示很难或不大可能实现的愿望，宾语从句用虚拟语气。请比较：
We hope we will succeed. (We don’t know if we will succeed.)
We wish we would succeed. (We know we can hardlysucceed.)
2、用在as if/as though, 或even if/eventhough引导的从句中: 这时，如果从句中表示的动作发生在过去，则谓语动词用had＋过去分词形式；如果指的时现在的状况，则用过去式 (be用were)；指将来则用would(should,could)+动词原形。这里只看从句动作发生的时间，与主句的时态没有关系。
Forexample:
Some metals look at first sight as though they weregold.
He looked as if he were an artist.
He speaks English so fluently as if he had studiedEnglish in the U.S.
He always sounds as if he would help you.
When a pencil is partly in a glass of water, itlooks as if it were broken.
Even if he were here, he could not solve theproblem.
3、在It is (high)time (that)…句型中，后面的从句的谓语动词常用过去式 (be的过去式用were), 或用should+ 动词原形 (should 不能省略) 来表示。这句话的意思是“（现在）该…”。For example:
It is time we left/should leave.
It is high time that you got married.
It is time that I bought a car.
Now it is time that you made some sentences by usingthis pattern. Think about what you should do now.
4、在 I would rather(that)…句型中，后面的从句的谓语动词用过去式 (be的过去式用were)。这句话的意思是“我宁可…”，表示说话人的意愿。
Forexample:
I’d rather I were in the rain now.
I’d rather you did not tell him.
5、在表示建议、要求、命令等意思的动词，如arrange,command, demand, desire, insist, order, propose, request, require, suggest,beg, move（提议）后面的宾语从句中，谓语动词用should+ 动词原形，should可以省略，而引导宾语从句的that 不能省略。例如：
We suggested that we (should) have a meeting.
We insisted that they (should) go with us.
The doctor ordered that she (should) stay in bed fora few days.
He demanded that we (should) start right away.
The commander ordered that the bridge (should) bebombed.
The villagers requested that the old building not bepulled down.

英语中的语气分为陈述语气、祈使语气、虚拟语气、疑问语气和感叹语气五类。虚拟语气是说话者用来表示假设，或难以实现的情况，而非客观存在的事实，所陈述的是一个条件，不一定是事实，甚至完全与事实相反。此外如需表达主观愿望或某种强烈的感情时，也可用虚拟语气。虚拟语气通过谓语动词的特殊形式来表示
1、陈述语气
表示动作或状态是客观存在的、确定的或符合事实的，用于陈述句、疑问句和某些感叹句中。如:
Iraq is an Asian country.
伊拉克是亚洲国家。(肯定句)
The US and British armies did not start the Second Gulf War until March 20，2003.
美英联军直到2003年3月20日才发动第二次海湾战争。(否定句)
Who was it that they want to help?
他们想要帮忙的人到底是谁呀?(疑问句)
How interesting my stay in China has been!
我在中国的日子过的真有趣!(感叹句)
2、祈使语气
表示说话人对对方的请求、警告，建议或命令。如:
Please come over here. 请到这边来。
Would you be so kind as to lend me a hand? 请帮个忙好吗?
Watch your steps! 当心!(走路)
Never be late again! 再也不要迟到了。
3、虚拟语气
虚拟语气表示说话人的主观愿望、猜疑、建议或与事实不符的假设等，而不表示客观存在的事实。虚拟语气是由句中的谓语动词的特殊形式表示出来的。如:
If I were a bird，I would be able to fly in the air.
如果我是一只小鸟，我就能在空中飞行。
I wish I could pass the examination.
我希望我能通过考试。
Hope you succeed!
祝你成功!
If only we had been college students last year!
上一年我们要是大学生该多好!
1、表示与现在事实相反的情况
从句:If+主语
主句:主语+ should/would/might/could+do:
If I were you，I would take an umbrella.
如果我是你，我会带把伞。(事实:我不可能是你)
2、表示与过去事实相反的情况
从句:If+主语
主句:主语+should/would/might/could+have done
eg:If I had got there earlier，I should/would have met her.
如果我早到那儿，我就会见到她。
(事实:去晚了)
3、表示与将来事实相反
从句:①if+主语+were to do
②if+主语+should+do
③if +动词过去式(be动词用were)
主句:主语+should/would/might/could+do
eg:If he should come here tomorrow，I would talk to him.
如果他明天来这儿的话，我就跟他谈谈。(事实:来的可能性很小，不可能)
虚拟语气的倒装形式：
If I had worked hard ，I would have finished it 如果当时我努力工作，我就已经完成它了。
=Had I worked hard ，I would have finished it
If it should snow tomorrow ，I would make a snowman 如果明天下月，我将会对雪人
Should it snow tomorrow ，I would make a snowman
If it were to snow tomorrow ，I would make a snowman
=Were it to snow tomorrow ，I would make a snowman
