假設語氣與過去事實相反,if子句內不能用be動詞嗎??
我看了文法書(Live ABC圖表解構英文文法)
與現在事實相反的部分,它寫了:
If + S + 過去簡單式 + V could
(then) S + might + V
If + S + were... should
would
與現在事實相反的If子句部分他有特別寫出were
但在與過去事實相反的部分,它卻只有寫:
could
If + S + had + p.p. (then) S + might + have + p.p
should
would
難道是與過去事實相反的if子句不能用be動詞嗎??
像 If he had been on the bus, he might have been die. 是錯的
要用
If he had gotten on the bus, he might have been die. 這樣?
還是它漏寫了?

與過去事實相反If he had been..., 可以阿

been就是be的p.p.

與現在事實相反,特別寫出were是因為不論人稱是誰be動詞都用were

樓上講得不太對 事實上與現在事實相反的BE動詞可以用WERE也可以用WAS；主詞是複數時用WERE比較合理主詞是單數時WERE /WAS都可以用

if子句與現在事實相反,be動詞的確有人用was,但我們是學be動詞用were

限定用were只是prescriptive grammar而已
