课件41张PPT。Unit 3 Understanding each otherGrammar and usageUnreal conditionals state a condition or situation that is not real or is imaginary. Unreal conditionals虚拟语气虚拟语气用来陈述一个不真实或者想象的情况。We use unreal conditionals to state a present condition or situation that is not real or is imaginary. If I got married in UK, I would expect a present.2) I could reach the book if I were a bit taller.3) If I had the chance, I might want to be a translator.我们用虚拟语气陈述现在不真实或想象的情景。We form unreal present conditionals like this:If… was/were/did … ,
…would/could/might do …1. 假如现在我有更多的时间，我就会学习德语。 If I had more time now，I would study German.2. 要是我象你一样年轻,我就会找时间锻炼。If I were/was young as you, I would find time
to exercise. Practice: Would, could and might are often
interchangeable, but with some
difference in meaning.would → intention; plancould → ability; possibilitymight → probability2) In written English or in formal situation,
we usually use were in If-clauses in place
of was. However, in everyday conversation,
was is often used.TIPWe also use unreal conditionals to refer to an imaginary past action.1) If you had joined the chat room ten
minutes ago, you would have known
what we were talking about.2) If the man had pointed with his first
finger while he was in Brunei, everyone
would have thought that he was very
rude.我们用虚拟语气表示想象中发生在过去的动作。We form unreal past conditionals like this:If … had been/done…,
…would/could/might have done…1)如果他抓紧时间，他本来能赶上那趟火车。 If he had hurried, he could have caught
the train.2)如果你昨天告诉他，他也许会提些建议了。 If you had told him yesterday, he might
have made some suggestions.We use unreal future conditionals to talk about imaginary future situations.1) If I had time tomorrow, I would certainly
help you.2) If I were to fail my Maths test, I would
have to take it again at the end of the term.3) If he should come tomorrow, I would
talk to him about it.我们用虚拟语气表示想象中发生在将来的情景。We form unreal future conditionals like this:If…was/were/did/should/were to…,
…would/should/might do…1) 假如我要出国，我就会去法国。 If I were to go abroad, I would go to France.2) 万一明天下雨，我们的郊游就推迟。 If it should rain tomorrow, our picnic would
be put off.We can also put should, were and had at the beginning of an unreal conditional sentence. In this case, if is not needed any more. If you should make a mistake,
you should not be embarrassed. →Should you make a mistake,
you should not be embarrassed.2 ) If you had told me earlier, I would
not have this problem now.→Had you told me earlier, I would
not have this problem now.3) If you were to take the train, you
would be there much sooner. →Were you to take the train, you
would be there much sooner.We can also use could + the present perfect with the if-clause for unreal conditionals.E.g. If I could have told you about cultural differences between Italy and the UK, I would have. More practice Fill in the blanks with the verbs given in the brackets in their proper forms. 1.

writing a letter of apologyStep 3: explaining misunderstandingsDear Mr. Hudson,
I am writing to apologize for any misunderstandings that occurred when I showed you around Beijing the other day.
I felt rather strange when you would not get on the boat because you thought it was too crowded while I considered that there was a lot of space. After reading a magazine, I know that people from the USA feel uncomfortable if others are too close to them.SampleI know it is a matter of ‘personal space’. So now I understand why you did not want to get on the boat then.
I feel sorry for not having known these taboos earlier. I hope you can forgive me for all these misunderstandings. I hope our next meeting will be happier.
Yours sincerely,
