虚拟语气的特殊使用.docVIP

从南通二模一道单选题看虚拟语气的特殊使用 原题：I was only joking when I said Tom was silly; who _____ he took it seriously? A. thought B. had thought C. would think D. would have thought 答案：D. would have thought 解析：表示过去情况的虚拟条件句和主句的动词形式为： 条件句 had done , 主句should/would/could/might have done 但是，当对条件句里发生的情况带有推测或表示怀疑时，“had done”的形式可以用“should/would/could/might have done”来表示，解释为：居然、会可能、或许怎么样。如： If you could have got up earlier at that time every morning, the work might have been suitable for you. 如果那时你每天可以起身早一点的话，那份工作本来可以适合你的。 把考试原题的后半部分进行重组，可以组成这样的句子： If I would have thought he took it seriously, I would not have joked. 如皋我想到他会当真，我就不开玩笑了。 要注意，这样的句式只在对过去发生的事情进行虚拟推测，并不是改变对表示过去的虚拟句式“条件句 had done , 主句should/would/could/might have done”的改变。 这个题目也告诉我们一个现象：全国教育看南通，南通人的英语教育走在前沿，注重英语的发展和变化，更注重英语在实际中的运用。
