　　2. 与过去事实相反的虚拟：

　　If + had done + ..., ... would (might) have done ...

　　If I had known your telephone number yesterday, I would have phoned you.

　　(I didn't know your telephone number.)

　　If you had come here a littleearlier just now, you might have met her.

　　(You didn't come here earlier.)

　　3. 与将来事实相反的虚拟：

　　(1) If + should + v., ... would + v.

　　(可能性很小)(译作“万一”)

　　If it should rain tomorrow, you could stay at home.

　　If I should fail, what should Ido?

　　(2) If + did / were to + v ..., would + v.

　　(完全不可能)
