虚拟语气的倒装就是虚拟条件句中“if”的省略,这种省略一般是这样的:
比如:If he had turned off the lights last night, he would not have been blamed by his boss.
倒装为: Had he turned off the lights las night, he would not have been blamed by his boss.
变化过程实际上就是把带“if”的虚拟条件从句中的"If"省略,句式改为疑问句式。
就是在If从句中,凡是以should、were、had作为助动词的都可进行倒装
如:
If I were you,I wouldn't do it.变成Were I you, I wouldn't do it.
If you should have done it 变成 Should you have done it
If you had done it 变成 Had you done it
注意:如果had作为have的过去式不可倒装
如:If you had a plate 不能倒装
在if引导的虚拟条件句中,若有were, had, should, 在书面语中可省去if ,将were等提到主语前,形成倒装。
Should there be a good film tomorrow. I would go to the
theatre with you.
Were it not for your help. I wouldn' t be succeed.
