虚 拟 语 气
虚拟语气表示动作或状态不是客观存在的事实,而是说话人的
主观愿望、假设、推测,有时甚至与事实相反。
一、 虚拟语气在名词性从句中的用法
1、 在“It’s important/ strange/ natural/ necessary that…”这类句型里,that
引导的主语从句中的谓语动词常用“(should) + V-原”结构。
eg: It’s necessary that he (should) be sent there at once.
2、 在动词 wish 后的宾语从句中
对过去的虚拟: had +过去分词
wish that 对现在的虚拟:动词过去时(或动词过去进行时)
对将来的虚拟:would/could + 动词原形
eg: I wish that I had sent the old man to hospital in time.
I wish that it were spring all the year round.
She wishes that she were still living with her grandmother.
I wish that you would/ could come soon.
3、 在表示建议、命令、要求的动词如:suggest/ advise/ propose/
demand/ order/ command/ insist/ request/ desire/ require/
intend/
recommend/ expect 等后面的宾语从句中,谓语动词常用
“(should) + V-原”结构。
eg: I suggest that we (should) set off at once.
但其中两个词 suggest 与insist 要注意使用:√要使用虚拟语气
√
暗示建议坚持要求 坚持认为
eg: Jean’s face suggested that she was ill, and her parents
suggested that she (should) have a medical examine.
