关于虚拟语气的省略与倒装问题

虚拟条件句的从句部分若含有were, should 或had,可省略if,再把were, should或had 移到从句的句首,使用倒装句型。例如:

Had I known your address, I would have written before.= If I had known your address, I would have written before. 我要是知道你的地址我早就给你写信了。

Were they here now, they could help us. =If they were here now, they could help us. 他们现在在的话,就会帮助我们了。

注:若条件从句为否定句,否定词not应置于主语之后,而不能与were, should, had 等缩略成Weren’t, Shouldn’t, Hadn’t而置于句首。另外,有时省略if后提前的had不是助动词。如:

Had I time, I would come. 假若我有时间,我会来的。(=If I had time…)
