文法书:旋元佑
If I were to take the bribe, I could never look other people in the eye again.
"用be going to减化的过去型态were to,可以表示“未来时间非事实”,也就是未来也绝
无可能发生的事。"
因为在前面有提到几个例子:
1. John will leave tomorrow.
2. John is going to leave tomorrow.
3. John is to leave tomorrow.
4. John is leaving tomorrow.
5. John leaves tomorrow.
想请教那条件子句能不能相对上面五句:
1. If I would take...(would有不确定性,应该不行,但是should又可以,蛮奇怪的)
2. If I were goint to take...
3. If I were to take...(已知可以)
4. If I were taking...
5. If I went to take....
我又看了柯旗化的文法书,也只有were to 而已。
第二个问题是书里提到:
现在时间
If I were you, I wouldn't do it.
"连带在主要子句中也用过去型态但不代表过去时间的would来表示“非事实”,而成为
wouldn't do的形为。"
过去时间
If I had known earlier, I might have done something.
"若还要用过去型态来表达“非事实”语气,就会变成过去完成的型态 had known。同样的
,主要子句中也是用过去完成的型态:might是过去型态的拼法,have done是原形动词的
完成式。"
结果未来时间,仅用了个could,然后就什么都没提,是说这是通俗用法,最好死记?
如果用上述五种未来式来搭也不行吗?
I would never be going to look other people in the eye again.
I would never be looking....等等的
虽然都很饶口,可是也没说行不行?
谢谢
