结构化英语 · 虚拟语气

If 从句与主句的时间不一致时，各自用各自时间的变形。

例：If you had studied harder（过去没努力）, you would be（现在不在）in a better university now.
从句 = 与过去相反（had studied），主句 = 与现在相反（would be）

规律：看时间！从句判断自己的时间，主句判断自己的时间，不要统一用一套。

suggest = 建议 → 虚拟语气（should + 原形）
I suggested that he (should) go early. 我建议他早点去。

suggest = 暗示/表明 → 不用虚拟，用正常时态
His silence suggested that he didn't agree. 他的沉默表明他不同意。
His expression suggested that he was unhappy. 他的表情表明他不开心。

① if 从句 ≠ 一定是虚拟
If it rains tomorrow → 有可能会下雨 → 真实条件句，不是虚拟。
If it snowed tomorrow → 8月不可能下雪 → 虚拟。

② suggest 的两个意思
suggest = 建议 → 虚拟（should + 原形）
suggest = 暗示/表明 → 正常时态

③ 虚拟语气里 be 永远用 were
If I were you... ✅
If I was you... ❌
I wish I were... ✅
