PART B - WISH / IF ONLY
I- PHẦN LÝ
THUYẾT
Wish và if only thường
được để diễn đạt ước muốn ( if only mạnh mẽ và rõ ràng hơn wish). Sau wish và
only là một mệnh đề chỉ sự ao ước một ĐK không có thật . Mệnh đề sau wish và if
only được xem như một mệnh đề danh từ .
Sau wish /only có 3 loại mệnh đề được dùng
để chỉ sự ao ước ở hiện tại , quá khứ và tương lai .
1.Ao ước ở hiện tại (present wish) .
1.Ao ước ở hiện tại (present wish) .
|
S + WISH (es) /IF ONLY + S+ V (past subjunctive)
(be à were)
|
b. Cách dùng : diễn đạt mong ước về một điều không có thật hoặc không thể thực hiện được ở
hiện tại .
Eg1 :I wish I lived nearer. Then we could meet more often. (I'm
sorry that I don't live nearer)
Eg2: Cathy wishes she had blond hair. (Cathy is sorry that she doesn't have blond hair)
Eg2: Cathy wishes she had blond hair. (Cathy is sorry that she doesn't have blond hair)
- Would không được dùng để diễn đạt mong muốn ở
hiện tại , nhưng chúng ta có thể dùng could .
Eg3: You're brilliant. I wish I could play the guitar like you. (I'm
sorry that I can't play the guitar like you)
2.Ao ước ở
quá khứ (past wish)
|
S + WISH(es) /IF ONLY + S+ V (past perfect subjunctive)
|
b. Cách dùng : diễn đạt mong ước về một điều đã
xảy ra trong quá khứ hoặc diễn đạt sự hối tiếc về một điều gì đó đã không xảy
ra.
Eg: I wish I had never told him my secret. (I'm sorry that I
told him my secret)
Eg: Santiago wishes he hadn't spent so much money last night. (Santiago regrets spending so much money last night)
Eg: Santiago wishes he hadn't spent so much money last night. (Santiago regrets spending so much money last night)
-Chúng ta có thể dùng could have +past participle
để vao ước về quá khứ khi chủ ngữ trước và sau wish là một người hay một vật.
Eg : I wish I could have been at the wedding ,but
I was in New York.
3.Ao ước ở
tương lai(future wish)
|
S + WISH(es) /IF ONLY + S+ would/ could
/might + V (bare-infinitive
|
b. Cách dùng :mong muốn điều gì đó xảy ra hoặc
muốn người nào đó làm điều gì đó.
Eg: I wish it would
stop snowing.
Eg: I wish Mark would call me back.
Eg: I wish more people would read my blog.
Eg: I wish Mark would call me back.
Eg: I wish more people would read my blog.
Chú ý: I wish ....woud ...được dùng khi nói về
hành động và sự thay đổi ,would không được nói về một tình trạng
Eg: I wish
something exciting would happen.
PART C:Một số cấu trúc giả định khác
1. Clause after AS IF, AS THOUGH:
* AS IF, AS THOUGH có nghĩa là “như thể, dường
như”
* Hai từ nối trên đứng trước một mệnh đề chỉ một
điều không thật hoặc trái với thực tế.
a/Điều không có thật ở hiện tại
S + V + as if /as though + V past subjunctive (V-ed/ were).
Eg: The old lady dresses as if it were winter even
in the summer (It is not winter).
+ She walks as though she studied modeling. (She
didn’t study modeling).
+ He acts as though he were rich. (He is not
rich).
b/Điều
không có thật ở quá khứ
S + V + as if /as though + V past perfect subjunctive /(had + V-ed/
(pp)).
Eg: + Tom
looked very tired as if he worked very hard.
+ The
child ate as though he had been hungry for a long time.
+ He
looked as if he hadn’t taken a bath for month.
Note: Past Subjunctive (quá khứ giả
định) có hình thức giống thì Simple past nhưng với động từ TO BE thì phải đổi
thành WERE cho tất cả các ngôi.
- Past Perfect Subjunctive (quá khứ hoàn thành giả
định) có hình thức giống thì Past
perfect.
-
Động từ đứng trước as if/as though có thể ở thì hiện tại hoặc quá khứ mà không
có sự thay đổi thì trong mệnh đề giả định
Eg:
He talks/talked as if he knew everything.
Eg :
He looks /looked as though he hadn’t a decent meal for a month.
-
Trong mệnh đề so sánh ( mệnh đề chỉ cách thức và mệnh đề chính có cùng chủ ngữ
), chúng ta có thể dùng as if /as though theo sau bởi một phân từ (present
/past participle) hoặc động từ nguyên mẫu có to (to –infinitive).
2.It’s time, It’s high time
It’s time/it’s high time có thể được theo sau bởi:
a. Động từ nguyên mẫu có to (to-infinitive)
|
It’s time/ It’s high time + (for + Object) +
to-infinitive
|
E.x: It’s time to
buy a new car. (Đã đến lúc phải mua
xe mới rồi.)
It’s high
time for the children to go to bed.
(Đã đến giờ bọn trẻ đi ngủ rồi)
b. Mệnh đề ( động từ chia ở
quá khứ nhưng mang nghĩa hiện tại)
|
It’s time/ It’s high time + S + V ‑ past simple
|
E.x: Ten o’clock - It’s time you went home.
(10 giờ rồi - Đã
đến lúc các bạn phải về nhà)
It’s high
time the children were in bed.
(Đã đến giờ bọn trẻ đi ngủ)
Lưu ý: Were có thể dùng thay cho Was.
E.x: It’s time I was/were
in bed
3. Would rather
a. Would rather (thích ….hơn) được dùng để diễn đạt những
gì mà một người nào đó muốn thực hiện trong một tình huống cụ thể (không được
dùng trong trường hợp tổng quát). Would rather (do) = Would prefer (to do).
* ở hiện tại hoặc tương lai
|
S + would rather (+not) + V_bare infinitive …..(+ than+ V_bare infinitive )
|
E.x:

( Tối nay tôi thích ở nhà.)
Would you rather have tea or coffee? (Bạn
thích dùng trà hay cà phê hơn?)

tennis.

bơi hơn chơi quần vợt.)

S

|
E.x: We went by sea but I’d rather have gone by air.
(Chúng tôi đã đi
bằng tàu thủy nhưng tôi thích đi bằng xe máy hơn.)
→ I wanted to go by air but I
didn’t get my wish.

→ But he didn’t get his wish
b. Would rather (mong muốn) còn được dùng để diễn đạt
nghĩa một người muốn người khác làm điều gì đó.
*Ở hiện tại hoặc tương lai.
|
S + would rather (that) + S

→but you didn’t meet
c.Diễn tả sự việc ở hiện
tại (present subjunctive):
Là loại câu người thứ nhất muốn người thứ hai làm việc gì (nhưng làm hay không còn phụ thuộc vào người thứ hai). Xem thêm về câu cầu khiến ở phần sau. Trong trường hợp này động từ ở mệng đề hai để ở dạng nguyên thể bỏ to. Nếu muốn thành lập thể phủ định đặt not trước nguyên thể bỏ to.

Ngữ
pháp nói ngày nay đặc biệt là ngữ pháp Mỹ cho phép bỏ that trong cấu trúc này
mà vẫn giữ nguyên hình thức giả định
- Present
subjunctive (Hiện tại bàng thái)
- Được dùng trong mệnh đề “that” đứng sau một số động từ
chỉ các cảm giác mạnh như: to demand (đòi hỏi), to request (yêu cầu), to insist
(nài nỉ), to recommend (khuyến nghị, đề nghị), và các từ ngữ it is essential
(điều cốt yếu là), it is necessary (điều cần thiết là), it is important (việc quan
trọng là)…. để nhấn mạnh.
- Động từ trong mệnh đề “that” ở dạng nguyên thể
Eg: I demand(ed) that he be here on time.
It is
necessary that he take the exam.
- Hiện tại bàng thái cách cũng thường được thay thế bởi
should + infinitive
I request(ed) that I should be given more time to
consider the matter further.
- Past
subjunctive (quá khứ bàng thái)
- được dùng trong mệnh đề “that” đứng sau động từ wish diễn tả ước muốn ước
ao ở hiện tại, trái với thực tế
I wish (that)
I had a car now.
