虚拟语气的用法及经典练习题(附答案)

1、虚拟语气概念虚拟语气用来表示说话人的主观愿望或假想，而不表示客观存在的事实，所说的是一个条件，不一定是事实， 或与事实相反。 虚拟语气通过谓语动词的特殊形式来表示。 英语中的语气分为陈述语气、祈使语气、虚拟语气三类。应用条件在表示虚假的、与事实相反的或难以实现的情况时用虚拟语气，表示主观愿望或某种强烈情感时，也用虚拟语气。即当一个人说话时欲强调其所说的话是基于自己的主观想法，而不是根据客观实际，就用虚拟语气。在非真实条件状语从句中的用法真实条件状语从句与非真实条件状语从句条件句可分为两类，一类为真实条件句，一类为非真实条件句。非真实条件句表示的是假设或实际可能性不大的情况，故采用虚拟语气。例：

2、If he doesn t hurry up, he will miss the bus.如果他不快点，他将错过巴士。(真实 )If he is free, he will ask me to tell stories.如果他是空闲的，他会要求我讲故事。（真实）If I were you, I would go at once.如果我是你，我马上就会去。（非真实， 虚拟语气）Iftherewere no air,peoplewould die.如果没有空气，人就会死亡。（非真实，虚拟语气）用法及动词形式从句主句If+ 主语 +did与现在事实相反（ be 动词 were ）主语 +should

3、/would/could/might+do1与过去事实相反与将来事实相反主语 +should/would/If+ 主语 +had donecould/might+have done1.If+主语 +did主语 +should/would/2.If+主语 +were tocould/might+do3.If+主语 +should例句：1、 表示与现在事实相反的情况：例： 1. If I were you, Iwouldtakean umbrella.如果我是你，我会带把伞。（事实：我不可能是你）2.If Iknewhis telephone number, I would tell you.如果

4、我知道他的电话号码，我就会告诉你。 （事实：不知道）3.If there were no air or water, there would beno livingthingson theearth.如果没有水和空气，地球上就不会有生物。( 事实：地球上既有空气也有水)4.If I had any money with me, I could lend yousome.如果我带钱了，我就会借给你些。（事实：没带钱）5.If he studiedharder, he might pass the exam.如果他再努力些，就能通过考试了。（事实：没有努力）2、表示与过去事实相反的情况例： 1.

5、If Ihad gottenthereearlier,I should/couldhavemet her.如果我早到那儿，我就会见到她。（事实：去晚了）2.If he had taken my advice, he would not have made such amistake.如果他听我的劝告的话，就不会犯这样的错误了。（事实：没有听我的话）3、 表示对将来情况的主观推测，与将来事实相反例：1.Ifhe shouldcomehere tomorrow, I should/would talk to him.如果他哪天来这儿的话，我就跟他谈谈。（事实：来的可能性很小）2.If therew

6、ere a heavy snow next Sunday,we would not go skating.如果下周日下大雪，我们就不能去滑冰了。（事实：不知能否下雪）3.Ifshe were to be there nextMonday, I would tellher aboutthe matter.如果她下周一来这儿的话，我就会告诉她这件事的始末。4、 有时，虚拟条件句中，结果主句和条件从句的谓语动作若不是同时发生时，虚拟语气的形式应作相应的调整。从句的动作与过去事实相反，而主句的动作与现在或现在正在发生的事实不符。如：If I had worked hard at school, I w

7、ould be an engineer, too.如果我在学校学习刻苦的话，我现在也会成为一个工程师了If they had informedus, we would not come here now.如果他们通知过我们的话，我们现在就不会来这里了。2从句的动作与现在事实相反，而主句的动作与过去事实不符。如：Ifhewere free today, we would have sent him to Beijing.如果他今天有空的话，我们会已经派他去北京了。Ifhe knew her,he wouldhavegreeted her.要是他认识她的话，他肯定会去问候她了。5、当虚拟条件句的谓

8、语动词含有were, should, had时， if可以省略，这时条件从句要用 倒装语序 ，即将 were, should, had等词置于句首，这种多用于书面语。如：Should he agree to go there, we would send him there.要是他答应去的话，我们就派他去。Were she here, she would agree with us.如果她在这儿的话，她会同意我们的。Had he learntaboutcomputers, we wouldhave hired him to work here.如果他懂一些电脑知识的话，我们已经聘用他来这里工作

9、了。6、非真实条件句中的条件从句有时不表达出来，只暗含在副词、介词短语、上下文或其他方式表示出来，这种句子叫做含蓄条件句，在多数情况下，条件会暗含在短语中，如without., but for. 等如： But for his help, we would be working now.要不是他的帮助，我们还会在工作呢。Without your instruction,Iwould nothave made such greatprogress.要是没有你的指导，我不会取得如此大的进步。We didn t knowhis telephone number; otherwise we would

10、 have telephoned him.我们不知道他的电话号码，否则我们就会给他打电话。7、 有时，虚拟条件句中，主、从句可以省略其中的一个，来表示说话人的一种强烈的感情 。省略从句He would have finished it.他本该完成了。You could havepassed this exam.你应该能通过这次考试了。省略主句If I were at home now.要是我现在在家里该多好啊。If onlyI had got it.要是我得到它了该多好啊。、虚拟语气的其他用法用在 wish后的宾语从句a、表示与现在 事实相反的愿望，谓语动词用过去式eg. I wish Iha

11、d your brains.我希望我有你那样的头脑。( 事实：我根本比不上你 )b、表示与 过去 事实相反的愿望，谓语动词：had+doneeg: I wish Ihad knownthe truth of the matter.我希望我原来知道这件事的真相。 （事实：原来不知道）c、表示 将来 难以实现的愿望，谓语动词：should/would +动词原形eg. I wish Ishould havea chance again.我希望我还能有一次这样的机会。（事实：很难再有这样的机会了）( 注： if only和 as if/as though也有相同用法）用在目的状语从句中1. 在 fo

12、r fear that, in case, lest引导的从句中，若用虚拟语气时，从句谓语为： should +动词原形。并且should不能省略3eg.She examined the door again for fear that a thief should come in.她又把门检查了一遍，以防盗贼的进入。He started out earlier lest he shouldbe late.他很早就出发了以防迟到。2、在 so that,in orderthat所引导的目的状语从句中，从句中的谓语为：can / may/ could / might / will / would

13、 / should +动词原形。eg.He goes closer to the speaker so that he can hear him clearer.他走近说话的人以便能听得更清楚。He read the letter carefully in order that heshould not miss a word.他把信读得很仔细以便不漏掉一个单词。其他用法1、 一 想 要 (desire)二宁 愿 (prefer)三 命 令 (order, command)四 建 议 (advice.Suggest, propose)五要求 (demand , require, request

14、 , desire , insist)中，无论主句谓语动词为何种时态，从句的谓语动词都用：“ should +动词原形 ”或只用“ 动词原形 ”。如：He suggestedthat we(should) takethe teachers advice.He insistedthat we(should) takethe teacher s advice.Hedemand that we(should) takethe teacher s advice.He orderedthat we(should) takethe teacher s advice.insist 如果翻译成坚持某种动作才用

15、虚拟语气；翻译成坚持某种观点就不用虚拟语气。如： He insist he is a student.他坚持说他是个学生。这个语句表示的是事实，因此在这个语句中不能使用虚拟语气。suggest意为“建议”才用虚拟语气，意为“暗示”则不用虚拟语气。如：His face suggests that he looks worried .他的表情暗含着他很担心。这个句子本身是事实，因此它就没有用到虚拟语气。2 、 表 情 绪 . 观 点 的 形 容 词 或 名 词 也 要 用 虚 拟 语 气 . 如 :necessary 、 important、impossible 、natural、strange

16、、surprising、funny 、right 、wrong 、better、a pity等。句型： It is.that +主语从句，从句的谓语动词都要用should+原型或只用动词原型。3、在 even if, even though所引导的让步状语从句中，可用虚拟语气，主句、从句的结构与 if所引导的条件从句结构相同。如：Even ifhe were here himself,he should not know what to do.即使他亲自来也不知该怎么办。（事实：他没来）Nobody could save him even though Hua Tuo should come

17、here.即使华佗在世也救不了他。（事实：华佗不在世）4、在 whatever， whichever， whenever ， whoever, wherever， however, no matterwh-word 等引导的让步状语从句中，从句虚拟语气结构为：指现在或将来：may+动词原形 。如：We will finish it on time no matter what may happen.不管发生什么事，我们都要按时完成。We will find him wherever he may be.无论他在哪里，我们都要找到他。I will wait for him no matter h

18、ow late hemay come.不管他来的多么晚，我都会等他。指过去：may +完成式 。如：You mustn t be proud whatever great progress you may have made.不管你取得了多么大的进步，你也不能骄傲。We must respect him no matter whatmistakes he may have made.不管他犯过什么错误，我们必须尊敬他。45、一般 would rather, had rather, would sooner等之后的宾语从句常表示与客观事实不相符的一种愿望，故使用虚拟语气。其虚拟语气的结构为：过去

19、 : had +过去分词 ;现在 : 过去时 (be用 were ) ;将来 : 过去时 (be用 were )如：I d rather youhad seen the film yesterday.我倒想你 昨天 看过了这场电影。I d rather you wereherenow.我倒想你 现在 在这儿。Wed rather youwent heretomorrow.我们倒想你明天 去那儿6、虚拟语气还可用在定语从句中，表示：“早该做某事了”时，定语从句中的谓语动词须用虚拟语气，其虚拟语气的结构为：It is (high / about) time that+主语 +动词的 过去式 /sh

25、来的。(=If I had time)省略条件句的主语和其后的动词be若主从句主语一致，且谓语部分包含有动词be，通常可将主语和动词be 省略：If repaired earlier, the tractor would not have broken down.要是早点儿修一下，拖拉机就不会抛锚了。(=If it had been repaired earlier)省略“ it+be ”If necessary, I would send more farm-hands to help you.如果需要的话我会派更多的民工去帮你。(=If it was necessary, I would)

26、省略整个条件从句这样的省略通常需要借助一定的上下文，即省略条件从句后，所剩下的主句的意思在一定的上下文中意思是清楚的：I might see her personally. It would bebetter.我可以亲自去看她，这样好一些。(=If I saw her personally, it wouldbe better.)在含蓄条件句中的用法(1) 条件暗含在短语中。 如：We didn t know his telephone number; otherwisewe would have telephoned him.我们不知道他的电话号码，否则我们就会给他打电话。（暗含条件是oth
