二、相关知识点精讲
1、辨别if 引导真实条件句与if引导的虚拟条件句的区别
If he has time, he will go with us、= Probably he has time and will go with us、
If he had time, he would go with us、=But in fact he has no time、
Eg:1、If I know Tom, I will hug him、
>If I _______ Tom, I ___________ him、

3、混合时间的虚拟语气
如果条件句中的动作与主句的动作不就是同时发生,主句与从句的谓语动词的形式应分别根据各自所表示的时间加以调整。

Were I you, I would do more practice after class、
Could she lend us a helping hand, she would do so、
6、wish 后面的宾语从句的谓语动词应使用虚拟语气, 表示“可

7、表示命令或建议动词suggest, insist, propose, desire, demand, request, order, command 后的宾语从句中应使用虚拟should +动词原形; should 不可用would 来替代; 主句所使用的动词时态不限。
8、suggest 为“建议去做…; 命令…”从句用should + do
为“说明; 暗示”, 从句用过去时或过去完成时。
1) The doctor suggested that I should take the medicine
three times a day、
2) The doctor suggested that my grandmother had caught a bad cold、
9、insist “坚持要去做…,坚持应该去做”,从句用should + do为“坚持表明,坚持说/解释”, 从句用过去时或过去完成时。
10、虚拟语气也用于表语从句与主语从句中,表示间接的命令、要求、请求、建议、决定等,主句的主语通常就是suggestion, proposal, request, order, idea 等。表语从句中的谓语动词就是should +动词原型,should 可以省略。

Practice:
In the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animal、This sometimes happens with humans also、But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people、I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat、And I have discovered that it makes them happy、
From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, bur sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily、They don’t get to see this soft side of others often; we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending、But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them、Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual、People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning (按喇叭) or even shouting at me、At the moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty fore years of driving、I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed、No more angry shouts and no more horns!
When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to other drivers, “I have a problem here、I am weak and doing the best I can、” And everyone understood、Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass、They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic、But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak、
Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way、But those are and far between、More often, it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared、
