新概念中的时态填空,请指教：If father______(be) alive,he would be horrified.
If father______(be) alive,he would be horrified.
到底是用were还是was?
答
If father was alive, he would be horrified.
were是多过一个，father只是一个，所以用was
答
were.这里是虚拟语气。
就像If I were you
答
用were吧。这里是虚拟语气。
答
was 虚拟语气 这样时用were
If I were you
答
现代英语中,所有人称都可以用were
但是传统用法中,第一人称第二人称用were,第三人称用was
所以两者皆可,但是was更加正式一些.(其实这是一场英式英语和美式英语的较量,)
答
was /were其实都可以，因为两种都可以表示虚拟语气，但是were更正规些，可以说were是万无一失绝对正确，而was仅仅不是错的而已。
