问题描述：
He sent yet another fax informing the journalist that if he did not reply soon he would be fired.
1.that引导的是宾语从句吗?
2.informing the journalist 是作状语还是定语?为什么呢?
3.informing可以改成to inform吗?为什么?
4.would是虚拟语气还是仅仅只是过去时,为什么?
答
1.inform sb that sb.是间接宾语,that引导直接宾语,因此是宾从
2.非谓语作目的状语
3.可以用不定式作目的状语
4.只是一个条件句表假设,并不是虚拟语气.虚拟语气需要与事实相反,句中所说并不知道有没有回复,只是假设不回复会怎样.
