[qqq5566 (正義魔人)]

If the doctor had come a little sooner, the patient  _______  then.

為何空格要填would have been saved

而不是would be saved呢?

推 maxmnbqq:這個句子很明顯是語"過去"事實相反的句子
→ maxmnbqq:所以If為過去完成式had come，
→ maxmnbqq:而主要子句也是過去(would)完成式(have been saved)
→ maxmnbqq:如果想表達的是語現在事實相反，
→ maxmnbqq:那麼，If子句要用過去式came，
→ maxmnbqq:而主要子句也要用過去式would be saved，並刪掉then
→ qqq5566:Thanks
推 dido19880426:與過去事實相反so時態要再往前推一格
