虛擬語氣在考試中比較常見。尤其是在聽力中經常出現(xiàn)。它主要是表達一種“假設”或者“推測”，而不是客觀顯示中的真實事件。因為主要通過動詞的變化來反應不同的情況，所以如果不熟悉虛擬語氣的基本表示方法，會直接影響聽力。同時翻譯中也經常使用。如果想得高分，要學好這個語法點，爭取在翻譯部分多拿點分：

?基本規(guī)則：

與現(xiàn)在事實相反：

If I?were?you , I?would apply for?the job.

與過去事實相反：

If I?had taken?your advice, I?wouldn’t have made?such mistake.

與將來事實相反：

If it?rained?tomorrow, I?would?stay at home.

真題翻譯示例：

例1：

They?requested?that?_______(我借的書還回圖書館)by next Friday.

1. 動詞request引導的從句應用虛擬語氣

2. 虛擬語氣的表達方式：should+動詞原形，此題則為：should return

3.?按句意順序譯，得出答案：I should return the book to library

例2：

The victim?________(本來有機會活下來)if he?had been taken?to hospital in time.

1.?一看句意有“本來”，十之八九為虛擬語氣

2.?二看時態(tài)推后了，本該過去時，卻用過去完成時，因此一定考虛擬

3.按句意譯為：would have a chance to survive

哪些動詞及其與他們相關的名詞，從句需虛擬語氣？

一想要(desire)二寧愿(prefer)三命令(order. command)

四建議(advice. suggest. propose)

五要求(demand. require. request. ask. insist)，另加一個wish

4. in advance表示“事先”， would have done表示與過去事實相反的虛擬語氣。

5. wish的賓語從句表示發(fā)生在將來的愿望用過去將來時。

6. wish后面用虛擬語氣，表示與過去事實相反用過去完成時。

8. would have done是過去將來完成時，表示與過去相反的虛擬語氣。

9. 在虛擬語氣中，不管什么人稱，be動詞都要用were的形式。

10. had I known是與過去相反的虛擬語氣的倒裝形式，因此主句要用would have done。
