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： If

2、 he doesnt 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If there were no air, people would 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与现在事实相反If+主语+didbe动词were主语+should/would/coul

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.If I knew his telephone number, I would tell you.如果我知道他的 号码，我就会告

4、诉你。事实：不知道3.If there were no air or water, there would be no living things on the earth.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 you some.如果我带钱了，我就会借给你些。事实：没带钱5.If he studied harder, 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.

7、 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 informed us, 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。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：If he were 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。If he knew her, he would have greeted her.要是他认识她的话，他肯定会去问候她了。5、 当虚拟条件

8、句的谓语动词含有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.要是他容许去的话，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 learnt about computers, we would have 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

9、工作了。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, I would not have made such great progress.要是没有你的指导，我不会取得如此大的进步。We didnt know his telephone number; otherwise we

10、would have telephoned him.我们不知道他的 号码，否那么我们就会给他打 。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 have passed 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 only I 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.
