Mike has already put forward his suggestion ___________ a production plan be completed next week. (11-06-T19)

A. whom B. what C. which D. that

2) 在上述名词的表语从句和同位语从句中的应用(CET-4常考查)

suggestion, proposal, idea, plan, order, advice等名词后面的表语从句、同位语从句中要用虚拟语气,即(should)+动词原形。例如:

My idea is that we(should)get more people to attend the conference.我的想法是让更多的人来参加会议。

I make a proposal that we(should)hold a meeting next week.我提了个建议,下周我们开个会。

3) 在下列动词的宾语从句中的应用(B级考查)

在表示命令、建议、要求等一类动词后面的从句中,order, suggest, recommend, advise, propose, desire, require, request, urge, demand, insist + that宾语从句+(should) do等。例如:

I suggest that we (should) hold a meeting next week. 我建议下周召开个会议。 He insisted that he (should ) be sent there.他要求被派到那儿去。

Exercises:

1. We demand that the tour guide (tell) _________ us immediately about any change in the schedule.(08-12-T34)

2. The adviser/doctor recommended that Mary (start) _______ the training program as soon as possible.(09-06-T29) (08-06-T32)

注意:如suggest, insist不表示\建议\或\坚持要某人做某事时\,即它们用于其本意\暗示、表明\、\坚持认为\时,宾语从句用陈述语气。 判断改错:

(错) You pale face suggests that you(should)be ill. (对) Your pale face suggests that you are ill. (错) I insisted that you(should)be wrong. (对) I insisted that you were wrong.

3 其它虚拟句型: 虚拟语气除了可用于非真实条件句和名词从句以外,在以下结构中也常用虚拟语气。(已无法归入上述任何一类,在此单列,分别讨论)

1) 在wish后面的宾语从句中的用法

这是大家非常熟悉的一个虚拟句型,它用来表示与事实相反的情况,或表示将来不太可能实现的愿望,具有较强的感情色彩,可分别表示对现在、过去、将来的虚拟。其宾语从句的动词形式为: 对不同时间的虚拟 Wish后面宾语从句的谓语动词形式 现在 过去 将来 did/were had done/had been或could/would + have done/been could/would + 动词原形 5

Exercises:

1. Sometimes I wish I _______ in a different time and a different place. A.be living C.would live B.were living

D.would have lived

2. Jack wishes that he _______ business instead of history when he was in university. A.studied

C.had been studying B.study

D.had studied

3. He didn't go to the party, but he does wish he _______there. A.would be

C.would have been B.has been D.had been

2) 在if only感叹句中

If only表示“但愿”,“要是??就好了”其用法和wish基本相同,可表示对现在、过去、将来的虚拟,只是比wish具有更强烈的感情色彩。If only也可用于陈述语气。 If only the alarm clock had rung. 当时闹钟响就好了。 If only I had followed your advice! If only I were taller.

比较if only与only if

only if表示\只有\;if only则表示\如果??就好了\。例如:

I wake up only if the alarm clock rings. 只有闹钟响了,我才会醒。 If only he comes early.但愿他早点回来。

Only if you promise to give it me back, I will let you use my bike.

2. Look at the terrible situation I am in! If only I_______ your advice. A.follow

B.would follow C.had followed D.have followed

3) It is (high / about) time that + 从句中

It is (high) time that 后面的从句谓语动词要用过去式或用should加动词原形,

6

但should不可省略。例如:

It is time that the children went to bed. 孩子们该睡觉了。 It is high time that the children should go to bed.

3. It is high time that such practices _______. A.are ended B.be ended C.were ended D.must be ended

其实使用虚拟语气的结构还有很多,但目前需要同学们掌握的大致就这么多,希望以后同学们在学习中不断积累总结。虚拟语气是英语学习者面临的一大难题。掌握主、从句中不同时间下谓语动词形式是基础,而在交际实践中,要正确地使用虚拟语气,要分“四步走”,准确地说要经过下列四个步骤的考虑:第一:是否虚拟;第二:何时虚拟;第三:主句虚拟;第四:从句虚拟。
