含蓄条件句

Five minutes earlier, and we could have caught the last train.

各位老师,我想问问five minutes earlier这里是什么省略用法?如果结构是祈使句,and+句子,为什么前面没有Arrive/Be

谢谢老师!

祈使句,+and +陈述句表示的条件句,可以把祈使句进一步简化为一个名词词组,就是你提问的这样的句子。它等于:

If we had arrived five minutes earlier, we could have caught the last train.

又如,老板对一个员工说:One more mistake, and you will be fired. = If you make one more mistake, you will be fired.
