if it were not for the fact that he is ill ,he would attend your party.这里的the fact that he is ill,that从句是同位语,可是为什么用一般现在时态呢?
问题描述：
if it were not for the fact that he is ill ,he would attend your party.
这里的the fact that he is ill,that从句是同位语,可是为什么用一般现在时态呢?
答
它这句虚拟语气是对现在的虚拟啊，当然是用一般现在时了。
翻译为：如果不是因为他生病的话，他一定会来参加你的派对的。
答
这是虚拟语气,与一般现在时相反,if从句用过去式,主句用would/could等加动词原形.
上面句子中,that he is ill,是说他现在的实际情况,而对这个实际情况的假设在前面were中体现出来.
