If I were you, I would try my best to grasp the chance.
要是我是你的话,我要尽力抓住这次机会。
1. 在虚拟语气的从句中,动词be的过去时态一律用were。
2.当虚拟条件句中的谓语动词含有were, should, had时,if可省略,而将were, should, had置于句首。

Were she here, she would agree with us. 如果她在这儿的话,她会同意我们的。

注意: 如果条件句是否定式,倒装时不能用缩写式或把not也放在主语之前。

→Had I not got there late, I would have met her.
→Had not(Hadn’t) I got there late, I would have met her.
3. 有时,虚拟条件句中,主句和条件从句的谓语动作若不是同时发生时,虚拟语气的形式应做相应的调整,这种条件句叫做错综条件句(混合条件句)。

If I were you, I would have taken his advice.
(从句说明过去,主句说明现在)
(从句说明现在,主句说明过去)
4. 非真实条件句中的条件从句有时不表达出来,只暗含在连词、副词、介词短语、上下文或其他方式中,这种句子叫做含蓄条件句。多数情况下,多暗含or,otherwise, but for…(要不是因为……), without…
But for his help, we would be working now.
要不是他的帮助,我们还会在工作呢。

wish本身可以是过去式,表示过去的一种愿望,that从句的时态不受影响。

7. 由if only (要是……,那该多好啊!)引导的惊叹句。表示现在的情况,应用过去时; 如果是过去的情况,应用过去完成时;如果就将来的情况,应用could/would+动词原形。(同wish)
