14.更進一步說,我不但要對自己負責,也要對我的家人負責。
三、 答案
1. did(簡單過去式)
2.(1)has (2)happened(從過去到現在,是現在完成式)
3.(1)will have happened(未來完成式)
(2)by(未來式常用,表示到時間為止)
4.(1)What if(片語:如果不......,怎麼辦?)
(2)doesn't(if子句不用未來式)
5.(1)had(2)would(現在假設語氣,所以使用過去式)
6.(1)were(2)would(文法同上)
7.(1)don't(描述現在的看法,是簡單現在式)
(2)saw(簡單過去式)
(3)would have greeted(打招呼,是昨天的事,而且他並沒有打招呼,所以是過去假設)
8.(1)didn't know(實情是我認識你,所以是現在式的假設語氣)
(2)wouldn't have hugged(過去式的假設語氣,因為已經抱了,用過去式)
重點複習:假設語氣必具以下:
1. 絕對不是事實
2. 所有時式都往過去退一步
現在假設用過去式
未來假設用should
過去假設沒的退了就借後面搭配
would have用過去完成
