2.虛擬語氣
承接剛剛講過的內容：虛擬語氣的本質就是“說廢話”。這里，我們開始探討“說廢話”的幾種情況：
第一，在表示虛擬的條件句中“對現在事實說廢話”，此時，主句也要做相應的變化予以配合。
示例：If I had a lot of money, I would buy a new car.(實際情況呢，沒錢!)
第二，在表示虛擬的條件句中“對過去事實說廢話”，此時，主句也要做相應的變化予以配合。
示例：If you had told me the truth earlier, I would not have acted like that.(實際情況呢，你沒告訴我，而我呢，也就那樣做了!)
第三，在表示虛擬的條件句中“對將來事實說廢話”，此時，主句也要做相應的變化予以配合。
示例：If I were to die tomorrow, I would not sleep tonight.(實際情況呢?身體棒著呢!明天不可能死，今晚呢，也就會照常呼呼大睡!)
