2013年高考英语复习:虚拟语气
难点形成原因:
1.学习过程太零碎,不系统。
2.分不清什么时候使用,怎么使用。
3.一些固定用法记不住。
解决办法:
虚拟语气通过谓语动词的特殊形式来表示。由于虚拟语气表达的是与事实相反的行为状态,其谓语动词的变化不同于陈述语气,这也是大家感到困惑和容易出错的地方。做此类题目时,关键要迅速发现解题信息词,确定虚拟语气类型,然后按各类虚拟语气的特定表达方式确定动词的形式。
用法讲解:
虚拟语气表示说的话不是事实,或者是不可能发生的情况,而仅是一种愿望、建议或者与事实相反的假设等。一般常用于正式的书面语中。
1.条件从句中的虚拟语气

would do |

含蓄虚拟条件句
有时假设的情况并不以条件从句表示出来,而是通过一个介词短语或其他方式表示。通常的词或短语有:without"如果没有", but for "要不是", but that, otherwise, or, but等。
He hesitated for a moment before kicking the ball, otherwise he would have scored a goal. (2001上海春季)
But for my classmates’ help, I would not have finished the work in time. (2004三级题)
Without heat and sunlight, plants on the earth would not grow well. ( 2004三级题)
注意:在虚拟条件句中,若有动词were, should或had(+过去分词),可以省略if,且把这三个词放在主句之前,变成倒装句。如:
What would have happened, had Bob walked farther, as far as the riverbank? (2001上海)
Had I realized you were busy, I wouldn't have bothered you with my questions. (1996三级题)
Had the weather been good, the children could have gone out for a walk. (2001三级题)
Had he taken the advice of his friends, he would not have suffered such a heavy loss in his business. (2004三级题)

命令order , command 要求request, demand, insist 建议suggest, propose, recommend, advise |

|

注意:表命令、请求、建议的词order; request, demand, insist; suggest, propose, recommend, advise其表语从句、同位语从句、主语从句的谓语动词都要用should do的形式,should可以省略。但当insist表示 “坚持说”, suggest表示 “暗示,表明”时,不用虚拟语气。

3. 特殊句型中的虚拟语气
|
虚拟情况 |
|
|
if only引起的感叹句
“要是 |
与现在或未来事实相反的愿望 |
would do/were |

与过去事实相反的愿望 |

|
It is (high/about) time sb. should do/ did…… “该是……的时候了” 注意:should不能省略 |

||
It is (或was) + 形容词(或过去分词) + that……+should + 动词原形…… 常用的形容词:necessary, important,essential
常用的过去分词: (表命令、请求、建议的词) |
It is necessary that we (should) have a walk now.
It is required that nobody (should) smoke here. |
||
as if和as though引起的虚拟语气 |
与现在事实相反 |
did/ were |
When a pencil is partly in a glass of water, it looks as if it were broken. (NMET 1995) |
与过去事实相反 |
had done |
You are talking as if you had seen them. |
注意:
1. 以上虚拟从句中的would可根据具体语言环境用could, might, should来代替。
2. 如果as if和as though后面的从句所表示的情况是真实的或很可能是真实的,则动词可以用陈述语气,在feel, look, seem, smell, sound, taste之后尤其如此。试比较:
He walks as if he is drunk.
He walks as if he were drunk.
第一句表示“他已经醉了”,第2句则表示“他没有醉”。
