英语PK台 第545期:零基础学英语时态(10)(在线收听) |
过去将来完成时 过去将来完成时表示从过去观点看将来某时某动作已完成。这个时态用得相对比较少,通常主要用于转述方面,即用于第三条件句及间接引语中。这个时态有三大主要用法,各用法之间无太大关联,学习这个时态,建议学习者着重把握第一个用法,即时态。
回忆一下,在学习过的虚拟语气中,是否遇到过would+have+过去分词结构。在第三大用法中,会再见到这个结构。
热身:表达过去的虚拟,结构是:if+(had+过去分词),主句谓语则通常用(would+have+过去分词)
过去将来完成时的三大用法
(一)表时态
1. 表示从过去某一时间来看将来某时会已经完成的动作

(二)表情态
2. “would + have + 过去分词”的情态用法,would 后接完成式除用于构成过去将来完成时外,它还有其情态动词用法的一面

(三)用于虚拟
3. 用于虚拟语气中,若表示与过去事实相反的虚拟语气,此时条件从句的谓语用过去完成时(had+过去分词),而主句谓语则通常用过去完成时(would+have+过去分词),当然,主句谓语也可根据情况使用“should (could, might)+have+过去分词”
