语法学习：

虚拟语气，倒装

虚拟条件句的从句部分含有were， should， 或had时， 可省略if，再把were， should或had 移到从句的句首，实行倒装。例如：

Were they here now， they could help us. =If they were here now， they could help us.他们现在在的话，就会帮助我们了。

Had you come earlier， you would have met him. =If you had come earlier， you would have met him.你来得早一点，就碰到他了。

Should it rain， the crops would be saved. =Were it to rain， the crops would be saved.假如下雨，庄稼就有救了。

注意：在虚拟语气的从句中，动词'be'的过去时态一律用"were"，不用was，即在从句中be用were代替。例如：
