一、概念
英语中的语气分为陈述语气、祈使语气、虚拟语气。
虚拟语气表示假设、愿望、建议、请求、命令、推测，不是客观事实。常用于条件从句、宾语从句、名词性从句、定语从句等，通过句子中谓语动词的特殊形式来表示，一般格式是 would / should do
1. 有情态动词时可用 could, might 等代替 should, would
2. 情态动词 + have done 表示含有责备语气
should / ought to have done —— 过去本该做而未做到的事
shouldn’t have done —— 做了原本不该做的事
needn’t have done —— 做了实际不必要做的事
might have done —— 本应该做而未曾做的事
could have done —— 本能够做而实际上没有做的事
