虚拟语气not倒装是英语语法中的一种特殊形式,常用于表示假设、愿望、建议、怀疑等情况。在条件句中,如果主句和从句的主语不同,主句谓语动词是“should/were”,则从句的谓语动词要用“动词原形+not”,并且主语和动词要倒装。使用时需注意动词后面加上“not”,“should”可以省略但“were”不能省略。
什么是虚拟语气not倒装?
在条件句中,如果主句和从句的主语不同,而且主句谓语动词是“should/were”,那么从句的谓语动词要用“动词原形+not”,并且主语和动词要倒装。这就是虚拟语气not倒装。
例如:
- If I were you, I would not do that.(如果我是你,我不会那样做。)
- Should I fail the exam, I would be very disappointed.(如果我考试不及格,我会非常失望。)
虚拟语气not倒装的用途
虚拟语气not倒装通常用于表示假设、愿望、建议、怀疑等情况,常常与“if”、“wish”、“would rather”、“suppose”等词连用。
例如:
- If I had more money, I would travel around the world.(如果我有更多的钱,我会周游世界。)
- She wishes she were taller.(她希望自己更高。)
- I would rather you didn't smoke in here.(我宁愿你不要在这里吸烟。)
- Suppose he doesn't come, what should we do?(假设他不来,我们该怎么办?)
注意事项
在虚拟语气not倒装中,动词原形后面必须加上“not”,否则句意就会改变。同时,虚拟语气not倒装中的“should”可以省略,但是“were”不能省略。
例如:
- If he had studied harder, he would have passed the exam.(如果他学习更努力一些,他就能通过考试。)
- Had he studied harder, he would not have failed the exam.(如果他学习更努力一些,他就不会考试不及格了。)
