if 引导的虚拟条件句
The flat-owner said if he had known that Ma Ming was a drummer,he wouldn’t have rented the flat to him.(P30,Para.2)
房东说他如果知道马明是个鼓手,就不会把房子租给他。
结构分析:本句含有if引导的虚拟条件句,表示与过去事实相反。
if引导的虚拟条件句分三种情况:
与现在事实相反,从句用过去时(be动词用were),主句用would/should/
could/might+动词原形。
与过去事实相反,从句用had done,主句用would/should/could/might+
have done。
与将来事实相反,从句用过去时(be动词用were)/were to do/should+动
词原形,主句用would/should/might/could+动词原形。
注意:有时条件从句表示的动作和主句表示的动作发生的时间不一致,这类句子称为错综虚拟语气,此时主从句动词的形式应根据各自所表示的时间进行调整。
(1)If you (keep) your room tidy,then it wouldn’t bother me so long to clean it.
(2)If we (book) a table earlier,we couldn’t be standing here in a queue.

be doing...when...
We’d be sitting there happily reading our newspapers,when suddenly so much water would come from above that we’d be as wet as if we had showered with our clothes on!(P31,Para.3)
我们本来高兴地坐在阳台看报纸,突然间很多水从天而降,把我们都给浇湿了,就像穿着衣服洗了个澡一样!
结构分析:本句中的“be doing...when...”意为“正在做……就在这时(突然)……”;when为并列连词,意为“就在这时(突然)”,相当于and at this/that time。
类似的句型有:
be about to do...when...正要做……这时……
be on the point of doing...when...正要做……这时……
had just done...when...刚做了……这时……
(1)We had just got into the helicopter the hungry bear tore down the fence.
