Trang 1BÀI 7 SUBJUNCTIVE CLAUSES - MỆNH ĐỀ GIẢ ĐỊNH
I The use of “as if/ as though”: (như thể là, cứ như là) các mệnh đề giả định với as
if/ as
though thường được chia làm hai loại cụ thể dưới đây:
1 The present sense: Nếu động từ ở mệnh đề dẫn được chia ở thì hiện tại
(simple present), thì động từ ở mệnh đề giả định sẽ chia ở thì quá khứ đơn (simple past), động từ to be được chia là were với mọi chủ ngữ.
S V(simple present) as if/ as though S
-V(simple past)
e.g The old lady dresses as if it were winter even in the summer (It is not winter.)
hiện tại quá khứ
Angelique walks as though she studied modelling (She didn’t study modelling)
hiện tại quá khứ
He acts as though he were rich (He is not rich)
hiện tại quá khứ
2 The past sense: Nếu động từ ở mệnh đề dẫn được chia ở thì quá khứ (simple
past), thì động từ ở mệnh đề giả định sẽ chia ở thì quá khứ hoàn thành (past perfect).
S - V(simple past) - as if/ as though - S - V(past
perfect)
e.g Betty talked about the contest as if she had won the grand prize
past simple past perfect
(She didn’t win the grand prize.) Jeff looked as if he had seen a ghost (She didn’t see a ghost.)
past simple past perfect
He looked as though he had run ten miles (He didn’t run ten miles.)
