一、什么叫错综时间虚拟条件句

所谓错综时间虚拟条件句即条件从句与主句所指时间不一致,如从句指过去,而主句即指的是现在或将来,此时应根据具体的语境情况,结合上面提到的三种基本类型对时态作相应的调整:

If it had rained last night, the ground would be wet now. 要是昨晚下过雨的话,现在地面就会是湿的。

You would be much better now if you had taken my advice. 假若你当时听我的话,你现在就会好多了。

 

二、一点特别说明

条件从句用 if I were…时,既可指现在也可指过去:

If I were you, I would stay. 我要是你我就会留下。

If I were you, I’d go to night school. 我要是你,我会上夜校。

If I were not busy, I would have come. 假若我不忙,我早就来了。

也可用 if I had been you也表示过去:

If I had been you,I’d have taken the job. 我要是你,我就接受那份工作了。
