虚拟语气在条件句中可表示与现在事实相反、与过去事实相反及与将来事实相反的情况，不同时间的虚拟条件句采用不同的谓语形式。
1. 与现在事实相反。
主句的谓语动词用“情态动词的过去式（should / would / could / might） + 动词原形”；从句的谓语动词用过去式，如果谓语动词是be，则一律用were。如：
We would go with you if we had time. 如果我们有时间，我们就跟你去。
If she were living a hard life, you should be responsible for it. 要是她生活艰难的话，你应该对此负责。
If I were you, I would never give it up. 我要是你的话，我绝不会放弃。
2. 与过去事实相反。
主句的谓语动词用“情态动词的过去式（should / would / could / might） + have + 过去分词”；从句的谓语动词用过去完成时，即“had + 过去分词”。如：
If I had seen him yesterday, I would have asked him for help. 如果我昨天看见他了，我就会向他寻求帮助。
If you had come earlier, you would have met him. 如果你早一点来，你已经见到他了。
3. 与将来事实相反。
主句的谓语动词用“情态动词的过去式（should / would / could / might） + 动词原形”；从句的谓语动词可酌情用：1)一般过去时； 2) should + 动词原形（表示可能性较大）；3) were to + 动词原形（表示可能性较小）。如：
If it rained (were to rain / should rain) tomorrow, they would not go out. 如果明天下雨，他们就不会外出。
If I were to do the work, I should do it in a different way. 要是我做这项工作，我会以不同的方式做。
