5 怎么理解 I will ... if anything should do sth, should可用were to替换.

“ 6. somewhat formal used to talk about the result or effect of something that may happen or be true

I will feel very guilty should anything go wrong. [=if anything goes wrong]

usually used with if

I will feel very guilty if anything should [=were to] go wrong.

… ”  --- ( Merriam-Webster's Advanced Learner's English Dictionary: should )

[]: I will feel very guilty if anything should [=were to] go wrong. 老师们,这里的were to怎么理解.Anything不是接单数谓语动词的吗?

《韦氏高阶》的确是这么说的,但这种说法似乎欠妥。当主句谓语动词为will do 陈述语气时,if 从句是不可以用were to do这种虚拟语气形式的。If 从句用 should do时,主句可以用陈述语气、虚拟语气和祈使语气。建议网友忽略《韦氏高阶》这个解释,知道if 从句用should do表示将来条件时,主句可以用陈述语气will do即可。如果if 从句用 were to do, 主句谓语动词必须含有情态动词过去形式,通常为would do.
