2.only if和if only的区别
only if意为"只有",置于句首时主句的主谓要用部分倒装。if only意为"但愿;要是......就好了",引导的从句要用虚拟语气:与现在的情况相反时,从句用一般过去时;与过去的情况相反时,从句用过去完成时;与将来的情况相反时,谓语用"would/could+动词原形"。

他只有更加努力学习才能赶上其他人。

[全析考法]
Ⅰ.单句语法填空
1.(2018·天津高考改编)Let's not pick these peaches until this weekend so _______ they get sweet enough to be eaten.
解析:that so that "以便;为了",在此处引导目的状语从句。
2.(2017·北京高考改编)________ birds use their feathers for flight, some of their feathers are for other purposes.
解析:Although 句意:尽管鸟类用羽毛飞行,但是它们的一些羽毛也有其他用途。由句意可知,空处引导让步状语从句,故填Although。
Ⅱ.单句改错
1.(2015·浙江高考)If I was only a child when I studied in that classroom, I will never forget it.________________
解析:If→Although/Though 句意:尽管在那个教室学习时我仅仅是一个孩子,但我永远忘不了它。根据句意可知,此处并不存在条件关系,而是表示让步,应将if改为although或though。
2.(2014·全国卷)And it is wise to have as many good friends that we can.________________
解析:that→as as many ... as we can为固定句式,as引导比较状语从句。
