我见过倒装的虚拟语气,通常是放在主句前面的。如:
Were it all true, he would still not excuse their action. 即使这都是事实,他也不会原谅他们的行动。
Should you change your mind, no one would blame you. 万一你改变主意,谁也不会怨你。
Had I known your address, I would have written before. 我要是知道你的地址我早就给你写信了。
请问:倒装的虚拟语气可以放在主句后面去吗?
你的问题有两点需要注意:
1. 倒装语的虚拟语属于比较正式的用法,在口语或非正式文体中用得较少。
2. 倒装语的虚拟语气放在主句前面或后面都可以的(尤其是当倒装的结构比较长时),所以你的句子也可以写成:
(1) He would still not excuse their action were it all true. 即使这都是事实,他也不会原谅他们的行动。
(2) No one would blame you should you change your mind. 万一你改变主意,谁也不会怨你。
(3) I would have written before had I known your address. 我要是知道你的地址我早就给你写信了。
