虚拟语气是一个用于描述希望、建议、要求或与事实相反的情况的时态。那么,有哪些动词是提示虚拟语气的呢?

(1)insist表示“坚持”

1. "At least I can protect her, " Perhaps this is to let go I insist that it is a driving force. “最起码我可以保护她”,这句话也许就是让我坚持下去的唯一动力吧。

2. I insist she go there with her mother. 我坚持要她同她母亲到那儿去。

3. My family insisted that I should not give in, but stay and fight. 家里人坚持认为我不应让步,而应该留下来继续抗争。

4. He insisted that she came. 他坚持要她来。

注意:insist既可以表示虚拟语气,也可以是陈述语气。若所说事件并未发生则为虚拟语气,所说事件已然发生则需要用陈述语气。

例子:
I insisted that she had read this book. 我坚持说她看过这本书。(陈述)

3. Doctors advised that he should be transferred to a private room. 医生们建议将他转到单人病房。
