二、知识点回顾(对应例句编号)
1. 直述句。
If you are free, please help me with my homework.
2. 假设句。
If I were free, I would help you with your homework.
2.1 假设法现在式
假设语气重点:
1)时间线
过去完成式 -> 过去式 -> 现在式 -> 未来式
2)事实与假设时态差一级
比如:与现在事实对比,假设语气就用过去式。
🏁句子中的前后时代要一致,前面现在式,后面也是现在式;
will是表示未来的,但是本身是现在式的动词。
shall “将要”的意思;
should 助动词 “应该”的意思
只有should有“应该”的意思。
4. everyone 第三人称单数,但是后面的help为何不加s?是因为前面省略了“should”,should后面用原形。
5. she consult 一样的道理,省略了should,所以用的VR。
假设语气不是只有if语句,比如:
S + 动词(suggest、demand、insist、agree等类似意思的动词) + that + 假设法现在式;
It is + 形容词(necessary、important等) + that + 假设法现在式。
2.2 假设法过去式
🏁句子中的前后时代要一致,前面过去式,后面也是过去式;
8. won't = will not
2.3 假设法过去完成式
know动词三态:know,knew,known
特别注意四个词:would/could/should/might。
从属连接词 if,可在句前,也可在句中
if在句子中间时,无需逗号分隔;
doze off 打瞌睡。
speak loud. 在事实的叙述中,loud原形更合适,从语气判断更适宜些。
在假设语气中 had spoken louder,比较是和事实比较;
注意:在条件子句中,除了if之外,也可用:
suppose、supposing、suppose that、providing、provided、provided that、as long as、in case、unless等字。
但 unless 通常不用于假设语气的句子中。
unless用于直述句,if用于假设句;
suppose 假设
in case 万一
unless 除非
重点:若两子句的时态不同时,其时态「各自为准」!
2.4 假设法未来式
对未来的假设。
if子句中怎么会有should? 很特殊,但其实意思也变了,解释为“万一”,万中有一的概率。
were to 指“不可能发生”的假设;
重点:假设句中的If可以省略,形成Were(Had/Should等)+主词的顺序。
2.5 其他假设法的表现
... as if / as though(仿佛;好像) + S + 假设法过去式
... as if / as though(仿佛;好像) + S + 假设法过去完成式
... wish(希望) + S + 假设法过去式
... wish(希望) + S + 假设法过去完成式
It is time + (that)+ S + 假设法过去式
It is about time + (that)+ S + 假设法过去式
It is almost time + (that)+ S + 假设法过去式
It is high time + (that)+ S + 假设法过去式
If only + S + 假设法过去式
If only + S + 假设法过去完成式
注:If only ... 和 I wish ... 在表现上意思差不多。
If it were not for ... => 假设法过去式
If it had not been for ... => 假设法过去完成式
(若没有...的话)
She look as if she had seen a ghost.
她现在看起来,但见到鬼是在过去,所以与过去事实相反,假设语气向前推,就用过去完成式。
It is high time you got a job.
你该找份工作了。
what you did
=> the thing that you did
what 作为关系代名词
in time 及时
on time 准时
2.6 代替if子句的用法
除了连接词if开始的副词子句之外,不定词、副词片语、分词构句等有时也有假设的功能。
不定词更简洁,假设语气可通过后半句体现;
在有连接词的句子中,其中有连接词的部分是附属的子句,无连接词的部分是老大(主句)。
当表述重复想省略主词等,也是省略子句的主词等。
eg: If you had a little patience, you could get over your difficulty.
=> With a little patience, you could get over your difficulty.
with 这里是有的意思。
注:with本身可以是副词,也可以是介词。
分词:{
现在分词 Ving -> 代表主动
过去分词 P.P -> 代表被动
注意:分词不代表现在/过去等时态,只有动词才代表时态。
}
A man of ... 什么样的人
A man of sense
A man of ability
A man of power
get over 克服
patient (adj.)有耐性的;(n.)病人
patience (n.)有耐性
Be patient 有耐性一点
Be a good patient 当个听话的病人
