It is important that you arrive there in time.
He insisted that I was wrong.
It was ordered that the medicine be sent here by plane.
请问这样的句子,为什么说是虚拟语气? 看着感觉就是一般的句子阿?
It is important that you arrive there in time.
【答】 is important 后面 that 从句的谓语动词要用虚拟语气:不管主语是什么人称,谓语动词都用动词原形,在英国英语中,通常在动词原形前面加 should 。
He insisted that I was wrong.
【答】 insisted 表示“坚决主张;强调”的意思时,后面 that 从句中的谓语动词不用虚拟语气。如:I insisted to everyonr that she was wrong. 我曾向大家强调她是错的。(摘自《英汉多功能词典》新编升级版p.874)
insisted 表示“坚决要求;坚持”的意思时,后面 that 从句中的谓语动词要用虚拟语气。如:She insisted that he (should) go alone. 她坚持要他一个人去。(摘自《英汉多功能词典》新编升级版p.874)此句可以去掉 should,但 go不能改为其他形式。
所以,“ He insisted that I was wrong.”这个句子中没有虚拟语气结构。
It was ordered that the medicine be sent here by plane.
【答】在 that the medicine be sent here by plane 这个从句中,划线部分是主语,属于单数第三人称,后面的谓语动词是 be sent 原形,说明这是虚拟语气。
