1)在主語從句中的應用
It is demanded / necessary / a pity + that…等結構的主語從句,謂語動詞用should 加動詞原形,should 可省略。
It is 可用的詞有三類that(should)dosuggested, ordered, required, proposed, demanded, requested, insisted等important, necessary, natural, imperative, strange等a pity, a shame, no wonder等
2)在賓語從句中的應用
在表示命令、建議、要求等一類動詞后面的從句中,像order, suggest, propose, require, demand, request, insist, command, insist + (should) do等。例如:
I suggest that we (should) hold a meeting next week. 我建議下周召開個會議。
He insisted that he (should ) be sent there.他要求被派到那兒去。
注意:如suggest, insist不表示"建議" 或"堅持要某人做某事時",即它們用于其本意"暗示、表明"、"堅持認為"時,賓語從句用陳述語氣。
判斷改錯: (錯) You pale face suggests that you(should)be ill.
(對) Your pale face suggests that you are ill.
(錯) I insisted that you(should)be wrong.
(對) I insisted that you were wrong.
3)在表語從句,同位語從句中的應用
suggestion, proposal, idea, plan, order, advice等名詞后面的表語從句、同位語從句中要用虛擬語氣,即(should)+動詞原形。例如:
My idea is that we(should)get more people to attend the conference.我的想法是讓更多的人來參加會議。
I make a proposal that we(should)hold a meeting next week.我提了個建議,下周我們開個會。
