would+動詞原形?一般過去將來時和虛擬句
一般過去將來時
形式:would+動詞原形和was/were going to+動詞原形
用于描述過去某時間里你對于未來的想法和猜測。
虛擬語氣(此處我們談?wù)搶ΜF(xiàn)在和將來情況的虛擬)
形式:would/should/might/could+動詞原形
用于描述不能實現(xiàn)或者純粹是家鄉(xiāng)的情況。
例句對比:
(1)
I was sure that I would work in a small city when I was a child. 在我很小的時候我就覺得我會在一個小城市工作。
If I were you, I would choose to work in a small city. 如果我是你,我會選擇在小城市工作。(事實上我不是你)
(2)
You told me that you would talk with your parents. 你告訴我你會和父母談?wù)劦摹?br>
If you talked with your parents, something wouldn't happen. 如果你和父母談過了,有些事就不會發(fā)生了。(你沒和父母談過)
(3)
She hoped that when Nixon told it to me the next morning I would not give him a hard time. 她希望第二天上午尼克松同我談起這件事時,我不要使他難堪。
If she told me about this, I wouldn't give Nixon a hard time. 如果她告訴我這些,我就不會讓尼克松難堪了。(她沒告訴我這些事)
是不是感覺二者很相似?其實虛擬句和過去將來時最大的不同便是虛擬句是純粹的假想,不會發(fā)生的事情。而過去將來時則是計劃會發(fā)生的事。
