在托福寫作的過程中，大家除了需要清楚的構思出邏輯框架之外，當然也需要學會使用一些精美的句型，從中表現自己的語言表述能力。而這樣的情況下，學會虛擬語氣的合理使用，會給你帶來很大的幫助。

在寫托福作文的時候,希望大家舉例的時候能夠寫實例,因為實例有它的特指性和唯一行,當然,如果實在你沒有經歷過,在舉例虛擬一個場景的時候, if起頭,就不要弄錯了。大家在舉例的時候常常會這么說“如果………”,”假設………..”,即if………

先不說這種舉例的好還是壞,就本身的句子而言,很多都是有問題的.

托福寫作輔導總結了一些if的用法,大家考前看看

先看兩個托福作文例子:

[Scenery]Sue has lost her watch. She think it may be at Ann’s house.

SUE: I think I left my watch at your house. Have you seen it?

(1) ANN: no, but I’ll have a look when I get home. If I find it, I’ll tell you.

If I find…., I’ll……

(2) Ann says: If I found a wallet in the street, I’d take it to the police.

If I found……, I’d(=I would)……..(而不是if I find, I’ll…..)

這里兩個句子有著不同的意思,前者表示Ann覺得她有找到手表的真實可能性.因此才說if I find….., I’ll…..

而后者是完全不同的情況.在這里Ann沒有考慮真實的可能性;她在虛擬這一個托福 作文 情景,并不認為真的可以在街上揀到手表.于是才說:if I found……,I’d……

if I do……….和if I did………的區別

用if+過去式(if I found / if you were / if we didn’t等) 表示虛擬的事情,而不是指過去時間發生的事情:

What would you do if you won a million pounds?

I don’t really want to go to their party, but I probably will go. They’d be offended if I didn’t go

Sarah has decided not to apply for the job. She isn’t really qualified for it, so she probably wouldn’t get it if she applied.

If從句中一般不用would:

I’d be very frightened if somebody pointed a gun at me.(而非if somebody would point)

If I didn’t go to their party, they’d be offended(而非if I wouldn’t go)

If …….would可以表示用來請求某人做某事:

I would be grateful if you would send me your brochure as soon as possible.

“Shall I close the door?” “yes, please, If you would.”

Would(‘d) / wouldn’t用于句子的主句(不是if從句)

If you took more exercise, you’d (=you would) probably feel healthier.

Would you mind if I used your phone?

I’m not tired enough to go to bed yet. I wouldn’t sleep.

另外,if引導的條件句也能引起倒裝,如果要是在作文里用到,也是一個加分點:

先看正常語序.

It would be a serious setback, if the talks were to fail.

If you should need more information, please telephone our main office.

If Alex had asked, I would have been able to help.

倒裝是要省略if

it would be a serious setback, were the talks to fail.

Should you need more information, please telephone our main office.

Had Alex asked, I would have been able to help

倒裝句比if-從句更加正式.

但是在否定句里面,不可以用縮寫

e.g.

Had he not resigned, we should have been forced to sack him(不用hadn’t he…..)

再多說一下,在新托福寫作中,希望大家舉例的時候能夠寫實例,因為實例有它的特指性和唯一行,當然,如果實在你沒有經歷過,在舉例虛擬一個場景的時候, if起頭,就不要弄錯了。
