UNIT 9

Unreal tenses and subjunctives

Explanations

It's time

1. It's time. It's high time

These are followed by past simple or continuous, though the time referred to is unreal.

It's time we left. It's high time I was/were going.

Was or were

As in conditional sentences, were can be used for all persons of be, though was is more common in everyday speech.

Wishes

Present

These are wishes where you want to change a present state.

I wish I had a motorbike. (I don't have one now.)

I wish you weren't leaving. (You are leaving.)

I wish I was going on holiday with you. (I am not going.)

2. Would and could

If the verb is an event verb, the reference is to the future. We use would or could after wish. Would here means ‘decided to’

I wish you would leave.

I wish I could come on holiday with you next year.

The use with would is often used to describe an annoying habit.

I wish you wouldn't make such a mess.

3. Past

These are wishes referring to a past event, which cannot be changed.

I wish I hadn't eaten so much.

This use is common after if only to express regrets.

4. Hope

Wishes about simple future events are expressed with hope.

I hope it doesn't rain tomorrow.

I hope he'll stop talking soon!

I'd rather/I prefer (followed by a clause)

1. I'd rather is followed by past tenses in the same way as wishes about the present. It expresses a personal preference about actions.

I'd rather you didn't smoke in here.

I'd sooner works in the same way.

Both I'd rather and I'd sooner are used with normal tenses when comparing nouns or phrases.

I'd rather be a sailor than a soldier. (present)

I'd rather have lived in Ancient Greece than Ancient Rome. (past)

2. I'd prefer can be used as part of a conditional 2 sentence. Note that 'prefer' in this type of sentence has an object ‘it’.

I'd prefer it if you didn't go.

I'd prefer is not followed by an unreal tense.

I'd prefer tea to coffee.

I'd prefer you not to go.

As if, As though

1. Real and unreal

The tense here depends on whether the comparison is true or unreal.

He acts as if he were in charge. (He isn't in charge.)

He acts as if he is in charge. (He is in charge.)

The difference is clearer with obviously unreal comparisons.

You look as if you had just seen a ghost!

In everyday speech, there is often no obvious difference made.

2. Present and past reference are both possible.

I feel as if I were flying. (I'm not.)

I feel as if an express train had hit me. (It didn't.)

Suppose and imagine

1. Understood conditions

The conditional part of these sentences is often understood but not stated.

Imagine we won the pools! (Imagine what we would do if...)

Suppose someone told you that I was a spy! (What would you say?)

As with conditional sentences, if the event referred to is a real possibility, rather than imaginary, a present tense is possible:

Suppose it starts raining, what'll we do?

2. Present or past

Present and past reference are both possible.

Imagine we'd never met!

Suppose we went to Wales for a change.
