1、对现在情况的虚拟
条件从句中谓语动词用一般过去式,主句用“would/should/might/could+动词原形”形式,表示对现在不可能实现情况的假想。
If I were you,I would choose to work in a small town.
如果我是你,我会选择在小城镇工作。(事实上我不是你)
注意:在条件从句中,如果谓语动词是be的形式,不管主语是单数还是复数,书面语中用were,而口语中如果是单数,也可以用was,不过在if I were...中一般用were.
2、对过去情况的虚拟
条件从句中谓语动词用过去完成式,主语用“would/could/should/might+have+动词的过去分词”形式。
If it had not been for your help yesterday,I could not have caught the bus.
如果昨天没有你的帮助,我不会赶上公交车。(事实是你昨天已经帮助了我,所以我赶上了车)
3、对将来情况的虚拟
在表示与将来事实相反的条件从句中,谓语动词可用should do,were to do或动词的过去式三种形式表示,但意义略有不同。should表示的可能性最大,动词过去式的可能性次之,were to do 的可能性最小。
If things were to be twice,all would be wise.
假如凡事都可以重新做一次,人人皆可成为聪明人。(事实是并不是所有的事都可以重新做一次)
注意:在书面语中,如果虚拟条件从句中有were,had 或 should,可以把if省略,把这几个词放到主语之前,构成主谓倒装。

其他条件句:
1、错综时间条件句
有些条件句的主句谓语和从句谓语表示的动作在时间上并不一致,这类句子称为错综时间条件句。
If you had taken my advice then,you would not be in trouble now.
如果当时听我的劝,你现在就不会有麻烦了。(if 条件句是对过去的虚拟,故用过去完成时,而主句是对现在的虚拟,故用“would+动词原形”形式)
2、含蓄条件句
有些句子虽不含条件从句,但意思和条件句相差不多,这种句子称为“含蓄条件句”,这种句子有时候会用虚拟语气。
如: Without air (If there were notair), there would be no living things.
But for your help (If it ha dn'tbeen for your help) I couldn't have don e it.
1、表示与现在事实相反的情况
从句:If+主语+动词一般过去时(Be动词用were)主句:主语+ should/would/might/could+do:If I were you,I would take an umbrella.如果我是你,我会带把伞。(事实:我不可能是你)
2、表示与过去事实相反的情况
从句:If+主语+had+done主句:主语+should/would/might/could+have done:If I had got there earlier,I should/would have met her.如果我早到那儿,我就会见到她。(事实:去晚了)
3、表示与将来事实相反
从句:①if+主语+were to do
②if+主语+should+do
③if+主语+动词一般过去式(be动词用were)主句:主语+should/would/might/could+do:If he should come here tomorrow,I would talk to him.如果他明天来这儿的话,我就跟他谈谈。(事实:来的可能性很小,不可能)
本回答被网友采纳表示将来可能发生的事情,也就是假如将来怎么样,主语就会做什么事情。
例1:If it rains, I'll stay home.
时态:主将从现
例2:If it rains, I might stay home.
时态:主情态动词+动词原型,从现
表示当下可能发生的情况,也就是假如以前怎么样,现在就会怎么怎么样。
例:If I studied more, I would get good grades.
这里说明我现在已经考砸了,表达的意思是如果我之前再更努力一点,现在的分数会 考得更好。
I wouldn't tell her if I were you. 如果我是你,我就不会告诉她。虽然从句用的是were,但是讲的是现在可能发生的事情。需注意,if从句中的be不管主语是谁,统统用were!!!
时态是主情态动词+动词原形,从过。这里情态动词必须,且只能是could, shoud, would, might,不能是can, shall, will, may。
表示过去发生的情况,如果过去怎么怎么样,那么以前就会怎么怎么样。
例:If I had been feeling well, I would have been in class. 如果我身体撑得住,我之前就会来校了。
时态是主情态动词+现在完成时,从过去完成时。
