[文法] 與事實相反

與事實相反(counterfactual)文法問題

If he ___________  that, he ________________ a thief.

(a)does                         will been
(b)were to steal                would are
(c)were to steal                will be
(d)were to steal                would be

答案給的是d，

c選項不對的理由是？

我在想到底是句子正確但不是與事實相反？還是句子本身錯誤？

謝各位大大。

推 campfire:這是與未來事實相反的假設 所以C的will要改成would
→ campfire:If + S + were to + V , S + should/could/would/might
→ campfire: + V
推 tijj:d之外,c可以是正確選項.
推 l10nel:未來可能性小（但非完全不可能），c) were to + would 正常
→ l10nel:                                    ^^d) would 正常
→ l10nel:c) will 是極少見的邊緣用法,的確出現在某些書中,雜誌文章,
→ l10nel:小說,粗略估計will/would比率大概1:30吧,不建議用will。
→ l10nel:這were是past subjunctive,很自然搭配will的過去式would。
