Conditional sentences: Unreal (present/future)

本條件句的第一部份描述一個不實際或虛假的狀況,第二部份則陳述如果該狀況為真時,會發生的後果。
不實條件句(反白標明者)的 "if" 子句描述了一個不實際或虛假的狀況。在這個情況下,說話者不知道電話號碼為何。這可由句中的 "if" 和動詞的過去式得知。
結果子句(反白標明者)陳述一旦 "if" 子句的情況為真時,將會發生的事情。不過,因為 "if" 子句是描述不實際的情形,所以不會發生。
整個句子的意思是說話者想要打電話確認訂單,但是因為不知道電話號碼,所以無法這樣做。請注意,當 "if" 子句置於句首時,後面要加上逗號。
請留意這些有關現在及未來不實情況的條件句之句型。在 "if" 子句中,會使用過去式的動詞。在結果子句中,動詞之前通常會加上 "would"。
若使用 "be" 動詞,請用 "were" 的形態,即使主詞為 "I"、"he"、"she" 或 "it" 時亦然。不過,在比較不正式的情況下,也可以使用 "was"
否定句的句型為將 "didn't" 置於 "if" 子句內的動詞前面,或將 "not" 置於結果子句內的 "would" 後面。
"If" 子句通常位於句子的第一個部份,不過也可以置於句尾。當 "if" 子句出現在結果子句的後面時,請將逗號刪除。句意不會有所改變。


If I knew the phone number, I would call to check on the order.
結果子句(反白標明者)陳述一旦 "if" 子句的情況為真時,將會發生的事情。不過,因為 "if" 子句是描述不實際的情形,所以不會發生。

UNREAL CONDITIONAL SENTENCES IN THE PRESENT AND FUTURE

In an unreal conditional sentence, the if clause describes a situation that is not real or not true. The result clause states what would happen if the unreal situation were true.

Example:

If I knew the phone number,
--I would call to check on the order.
(I don't know the number,
--so I can't call to check on the order.)
