TOEIC 考古題型- IF假設法 If I _______ the company, I would have hired him. (a) owned (b) own (c ) have owned (d) had owned ANS: (d) 從後半段結果句would have hired可看出過去完成式,故可知句型是描述與過去相反的假設句,因此前半段條件句要用had+過去分詞,即“如果我擁有這間公司,我就會雇用他”。實際上表達的意思是“我過去並沒有擁有這問公司,所以我沒有雇用他。” 狀況 If 條件句 結果句 例句 與現在事實同 (可能實現) 現在式 現在式(表達習慣) 或未來式 (表達未來可能性) If it rains, I drive to school. 或 If it rains, I will drive to school. 與現在事實相反 一般動詞過去式或 were Would + v. If I owned the company, I would hire him. If I were the boss, I would hire him. 與過去事實相反 had + 過去分詞 Would have + 過去分詞 If I had owned the company 2 years ago, I would have hired him. 1. ________ the agent said the market was healthy, he refused to invest more money in stock.
