Guidance:语气(mood)表示说话人对所说内容的态度和看法的一种动词形式。英语中有三种语气:陈述语气、祈使语气和虚拟语气。陈述语气即陈述事实,用于陈述句、疑问句以及感叹句中;祈使语气表达请求和命令,用于祈使句中;虚拟语气表达假设、猜测、遗憾、愿望和建议等含义,用于If条件句和一些特殊句型。
Examples: 1. He does not feel very well. He probably will not come to the party. (他觉得不太舒服,也许不来参加晚会了。)
2. Turn off the lights before you leave .(你离开时关灯。)
3. If I were you, I would take her advice.(我要是你的话,我会接受她的建议。)
虚拟语气用于If条件句中
Key Points:虚拟语气(the Subjunctive Mood)常用于非真实条件句中,表达与事实相反的一种假设。
对现在情况的假设 对过去情况的假设 对将来情况的假设 从句 If +主语+were/过去式 If +主语+had+过去分词 If +主语+should /were to+动词原形 主句 主语+should (would,could, might)+动词原形 主语+should (would,could, might)+have+过去分词 主语+should (would,could, might)+动词原形 Examples: 1. If I had a bike, I would lend it to you. (如果我有自行车的话,我会借给你的。)
2. If you had got up earlier, you could have caught the train. (如果你早一点起床,就会赶上火车的。)
3. If I were to be a millionaire, I should make my hometown free from poverty. (如果我成为百万富翁的话, 我一定让我的家乡摆脱贫困。)

Key Points: 虚拟语气有时用于倒装句中表达强调,即条件句中省略
if,动词 were, had 或 should 移到主语前面。虚拟语气有时用于错综时
间,即条件从句的时态与主句的时态不一致。
Examples: 1. Were she in good health, she would do it on her own. (如果她身体好的话,她会亲自干的。) 2. Had he known her telephone number, he would have called her.(如果他知道她的电话号码,他早给她去电话了。)
