托福作文也需要不断的练习与积累,为了帮助考生们更加有效的备考托福,出国留学网托福考试栏目为大家提供“2016托福写作中if语句的使用方法”,希望考生们能有所收获。
大家在举例的时候常常会这么说“如果………”,”假设………..”,即if………
先不说这种举例的好还是坏,就本身的句子而言,很多都是有问题的。
总结了一些if的用法,大家考前看看
先看两个托福作文 例子:
[Scenery]Sue has lost her watch. She think it may be at Ann’s house.
SUE: I think I left my watch at your house. Have you seen it?
(1) ANN: no, but I’ll have a look when I get home. If I find it, I’ll tell you.
If I find…., I’ll……
(2) Ann says: If I found a wallet in the street, I’d take it to the police.
If I found……, I’d(=I would)……..(而不是if I find, I’ll…..)
这里两个句子有着不同的意思,前者表示Ann觉得她有找到手表的真实可能性.因此才说if I find….., I’ll…..
而后者是完全不同的情况.在这里Ann没有考虑真实的可能性;她在虚拟这一个托福作文 情景,并不认为真的可以在街上拣到手表.于是才说:if I found……,I’d……
if I do……….和if I did………的区别:
用if+过去式(if I found / if you were / if we didn’t等) 表示虚拟的事情,而不是指过去时间发生的事情:
What would you do if you won a million pounds?
I don’t really want to go to their party, but I probably will go. They’d be offended if I didn’t go
Sarah has decided not to apply for the job. She isn’t really qualified for it, so she probably wouldn’t get it if she applied.
If从句中一般不用would:
I’d be very frightened if somebody pointed a gun at me.(而非if somebody would point)
If I didn’t go to their par...
