假設語氣

Subjunctive Mood

高頻

假設語氣用來表達與事實相反的假設、願望或虛擬情況。根據假設的時間不同(現在或過去),使用不同的動詞形式。這是學測高頻考點,務必掌握各種假設語氣的句型。

文法規則說明

1

【Contrary to Present Fact】與現在事實相反的假設:If 子句用過去式(be 動詞一律用 were),主要子句用 would/could/might + 原形動詞。表達的是「如果現在...(但實際上不是)」的意思。 公式:If + S + V-ed/were, S + would/could/might + V

2

【Contrary to Past Fact】與過去事實相反的假設:If 子句用過去完成式(had + V-pp),主要子句用 would/could/might + have + V-pp。表達的是「如果當時...(但實際上沒有)」的意思。 公式:If + S + had + V-pp, S + would/could/might + have + V-pp

3

【Wish / As if / As though】wish 後面的子句用假設語氣:與現在相反用過去式(were),與過去相反用過去完成式(had + V-pp),表未來願望用 would/could + V。as if / as though(好像)後面也用假設語氣,表示非事實的比喻。 公式:S + wish + S + V-ed (現在) / had V-pp (過去) / would V (未來)

4

【It's time (that) / would rather (that)】It's time (that) + S + V-ed 表示「該是...的時候了」,暗示現在應該做但還沒做。It's high time 語氣更強。would rather (that) + S + V-ed 表示「寧可...」,用過去式表達與現在事實相反的偏好。 公式:It's time (that) + S + V-ed / S + would rather (that) + S + V-ed

5

【Should Omission (should 省略)】在表示「建議、要求、命令、堅持」的動詞(suggest、recommend、demand、insist、require、request、propose、order 等)後面的 that 子句中,動詞用原形(即省略 should)。形容詞如 important、essential、necessary、vital 後面的 that 子句也適用此規則。 公式:S + suggest/demand/insist + that + S + (should) + V原形

常見錯誤

!

If I was you, I would accept the offer. (✗) → If I were you, I would accept the offer. (✓) 在假設語氣中,不論人稱,be 動詞一律用 were(不用 was)。"If I were you" 是最常見的假設語氣用法。

!

If I studied harder last year, I would pass the exam. (✗) → If I had studied harder last year, I would have passed the exam. (✓) last year 表示過去的時間,所以是「與過去事實相反」的假設,If 子句要用過去完成式(had studied),主要子句要用 would have + V-pp(would have passed)。

!

The teacher suggested that he studies more. (✗) → The teacher suggested that he study more. (✓) suggest 後面的 that 子句要用原形動詞(即 should 的省略)。不管主詞是什麼人稱,動詞都用原形 study,不加 -s 或 -es。

學測應試技巧

💡

學測假設語氣最常考的是:與現在事實相反(If + V-ed, would + V)和與過去事實相反(If + had V-pp, would have V-pp)的區別。

💡

看到 wish、as if、It's time that 等關鍵字就要想到假設語氣。

💡

suggest、recommend、insist、demand 等動詞後面的 that 子句用原形動詞(should 省略),是學測熱門考點。

💡

假設語氣中,be 動詞一律用 were,不論主詞是第幾人稱。這點很容易在選擇題中被測試。
