We pushed the bus, but it wouldn't move a bit.
8.used to "过去曾经......",暗示现在不再如此:
You used to smoke, usedn't you (didn't you)?
虚拟语气
近几年,虚拟语气考查的重点是与情态动词连用的虚拟语气。如:should have done, could have done, might have done等。虚拟条件句等也时有涉及。
1.虚拟语气在非真实条件句中的运用:
(1)与现在事实相反:
条件句谓语用:If...did/were...;主句谓语用:would (should,
could, might) do...。例如:
If I had enough money, I would buy the car. (But I haven't
enough money.)
If it were not so late, we could have coffee.
(2)与过去事实相反:
条件句谓语用:If...had done...;主句谓语用:would (should)
have done...。例如:
If they had invited me, I would have gone to the party. (But
they didn't invite me.)
They didn't invite me, otherwise, I would have gone to the party.
(3)与将来事实相反:
条件句谓语用:If...did (were)/were to do/should do...;主句谓语
用:would (should) do...。例如:
I'm sure to succeed this time. If I failed (were to fail/should fail),
I would try again.
(4)过去现在混合:
条件句与过去事实相反,主句与现在事实相反。例如:
If you had taken the doctor's advice, you wouldn't be in hospital
now (you would be well now).
(5)如果if省略,从句要倒装(主要是were/should/had)例如:
Had they time, they would help us.
Had you come earlier, you would have met the scientist.
(6)用介词短语代替条件句:
We would not have succeeded without your help (but for
your help).
But for the storm, we should have arrived earlier.
2.宾语从句中的虚拟语气:
(1)wish"希望;但愿"。wish后的宾语从句,如果跟虚拟语气,
有三种时态。即:
