If I were to take the bribe, I could never look other people in the eye again.
"用be going to減化的過去型態were to，可以表示「未來時間非事實」，也就是未來也絕
無可能發生的事。"
因為在前面有提到幾個例子:
1. John will leave tomorrow.
2. John is going to leave tomorrow.
3. John is to leave tomorrow.
4. John is leaving tomorrow.
5. John leaves tomorrow.
想請教那條件子句能不能相對上面五句:
1. If I would take...(would有不確定性,應該不行,但是should又可以,蠻奇怪的)
2. If I were goint to take...
3. If I were to take...(已知可以)
4. If I were taking...
5. If I went to take....
我又看了柯旗化的文法書,也只有were to 而已。
第二個問題是書裡提到:
現在時間
If I were you, I wouldn't do it.
"連帶在主要子句中也用過去型態但不代表過去時間的would來表示「非事實」，而成為
wouldn't do的形爲。"
過去時間
If I had known earlier, I might have done something.
"若還要用過去型態來表達「非事實」語氣，就會變成過去完成的型態 had known。同樣的
，主要子句中也是用過去完成的型態：might是過去型態的拼法，have done是原形動詞的
完成式。"
結果未來時間,僅用了個could,然後就什麼都沒提,是說這是通俗用法,最好死記?
如果用上述五種未來式來搭也不行嗎?
I would never be going to look other people in the eye again.
I would never be looking....等等的
雖然都很饒口,可是也沒說行不行?
謝謝
