45. Structures 虚拟语气用在would rather，would（just）as soon，would sooner，would prefer（希望）等后接的宾语从句中。意指某人宁愿让另一个人做某事，其后的宾语从句的谓语动词需用虚拟语气。若表示现在或将来要做某事，从句谓语动词需用一般过去时，表示过去已经做的事，从句谓语动词用过去完成时。虚拟语气可大致分为三类：一、 对现在事实的虚拟基本形式：If+were/did等过去

46. 式…, …would /could /should /might + do 例如：If I were a fish, I would swimin the sea.  (I’m not a fish, so I will not swimin the sea.)If she knew who am I, she would go out of joy.  (She doesn’t know, so she still feels joyous.)I would certainly go if I had the time.  How nice it would be if you could stay a bit longer.二、对过去事实的虚拟基本形式：If + had done…, …would /could / should /might +  have done

47. 例如：If she had been warned earlier, she wouldn’t例如：If she had been warned earlier, she wouldn’t have broken the window.  (She was not warned earlier andshe broke the  window.) If it hadn’t winded, the match would have seemedmore interesting.  (It winded and the match was less interesting.)She would have come if we had invited her.  三、 对未来事实的虚拟 基本形式：

48. If + should do…, …would /could /should /might + do; were+to+v（可能性极小）,意思相当于汉语中的“万一”例如：If he should forget the date, I might teach him a good lesson.  (事实上他不大可能忘记那个日期) If it should snow this afternoon, we could make a snowman.  (事实上不大可能会下雪) 这种虚拟可倒装，如： Should my car fail, I would have to return homeon foot.

49. = If my car should fail, I would have to return  home on foot. 如果条件从句中包含有were,had,should或could，有时可把if省略掉，但这时要把were,had,should或could放在主语前面（这种结构在口语中较少使用）。例如：(1)Had we made (= If we had made ) adequate  preparations, we might have succeeded. (2)Were there no gravity, there would be no air  around us. (3)Should it rain tomorrow, the meeting would  be put off.
