1 should: 'Should' expresses the notion of duty or obligation. Neither of the other choices (would or could) fits in this sentence.
2 would: 'Would' expresses the idea of willingness or wish. We use it to form the conditional tense.
3 would: 'Would' expresses the idea of willingness or wish. We use it to form the conditional tense.
4 could: 'Could' is the past tense form of the verb 'to be able to'.
5 should: 'Should' expresses the notion of duty or obligation: Kevin is supposed to be in his office (not driving his Porsche). Neither of the other choices (would or could) fits in this sentence.
6 should: 'Should' expresses the notion of duty or obligation. Neither of the other choices (would or could) fits in this sentence.
练习 2
Bob Carter be happier if he had more free time.
Bob Carter would be happier if he had more free time.
would: 'Would' can express the idea of willingness or wish. We use it to form the conditional tense. The sentence indicates that IF Bob had more free time, he would be more content. 'WOULD' always completes a clause which begins (or ends) with 'IF'.
should: 'Should' expresses a strong suggestion or advice. It does not make sense here because of the phrase 'if he had more time'.
had: The auxiliary 'had' must be followed by the past participle of a verb when used to form a perfect tense. We might say 'Bob Carter had been happier in the past.'
练习 3
I appreciate it if you not smoke on the bus.
I would 1 appreciate it if you would 2 not smoke on the bus.
1 would: 'Would' can be used to express the idea of willingness or wish. We use it to form the conditional tense. This sentence expresses the speaker's wish that someone not smoke on the bus.
1 should: 'Should' expresses the notion of duty or obligation. It does not make sense here. Note: 'Should' is occasionally used to express a similar idea to 'would' as it is used in this sentence. For example, 'I should hope so!'. This is a rare construction, and is no longer very current.
1 could: 'Could' has many uses in English. It can ask a polite question, describe ability in the past (past tense of 'can'), indicate a possibility and introduce the conditional present tense. Using 'could' here, though grammatically correct, doesn't make any sense.
2 would: 'Would' can be used to express a conditional desire. Note: It is acceptable as well to write or say 'I would appreciate it if you did not smoke on the bus' which expresses the same idea as 'I would appreciate it if you would not smoke on the bus.'
2 should: 'Should' expresses the notion of duty or obligation. It does not make sense here.
2 had: The auxiliary 'had' must be followed by the past participle of a verb when used to form a perfect tense. We might say 'I wish you had smoked before you got into my car'.
练习 4
Kevin have bought more bio-tech stocks when he had the chance.
Kevin should have bought more bio-tech stocks when he had the chance.
should: 'Should' expresses the strong suggestion or advice. This sentence expresses a regret that Kevin didn't buy more bio-tech stocks when he had the opportunity.
would: 'Would' can be used to express a wish that is conditional. As this sentence isn't conditional, it doesn't make sense to use it here.
练习 5
Polly and Philip thought that they never find the test monkey again.
Polly and Philip thought that they would never find the test monkey again.
would: 'Will' becomes 'would' when direct speech ('I will be late') becomes reported speech (He said he would be late). It is exactly the same when we report what someone thought. At the moment of losing the monkey, Polly and Philip think that they will never find the test monkey again. When reporting this past thought, this statement becomes: Polly and Philip thought that they would never find the test monkey again.
should: 'Should' expresses a strong suggestion or advice. It does not make sense to use it in this sentence.
