名词性分句中的虚拟语气

虚拟式常用于出现在wish, would rather, suppose, imagine之后的that分句中，表示一种臆想的(通常是不可能发生的)情况。例如：

I wish it were spring all the year round.

I’d rather I were not at the site of the accident.

在“It’s time that分句”结构中，that分句中应使用一般过去时。例如：

在If I were you 这一分句中，were不能换成was,应当特殊对待。例如：

Were I to do it (If I were to do it), I should rely on you.
