(B) I wish I know how to solve this equation.
(C) Were she to accept the offer, it would change her life.
(D) If he will come tomorrow, we can discuss the project. C
【解析】(A)After suggested that, we usually use the subjunctive: …that the student submit his assignment early.suggest that S (should) VR 英文文法
(B)After I wish, we use the past tense to talk about present unreal situations: I wish I knew… wish與hope差別 假設語氣 祝福用語
(C) Were she to accept the offer, it would change her life. If文法 假設語氣
This is a proper conditional sentence (formal, hypothetical) using inversion: Were she to… = If she were to…
(D) If he will come tomorrow, we can discuss the project.
In conditional sentences for future possibilities, we use the present tense in the if-clause: If he comes tomorrow…
The sentence “Were she to accept the offer, it would change her life” is a type of conditional called a “second conditional”, which talks about hypothetical or unreal situations in the present or future.
Normally, a second conditional looks like this:
If + subject + past tense, … would + verb
Example: If she accepted the offer, it would change her life.
In formal English, we can invert the “if” clause to make it more elegant:
Drop “if”
Invert the subject and the auxiliary verb “were”
So: If she were to accept… → Were she to accept…
The meaning stays the same: it’s a hypothetical situation that hasn’t happened yet.
句子 「Were she to accept the offer, it would change her life」 是一種 假設語氣的倒裝句，用來表達 與現在或未來不真實或假設的情況。
If + 主詞 + 過去式動詞, … would + 原形動詞
If she accepted the offer, it would change her life.
如果她接受這個提議（假設情況），那會改變她的人生。
倒裝用法（Formal Inversion）
在正式英語中，可以把 if 子句倒裝，讓句子更優雅：
拿掉 “if”
把主詞和助動詞 “were” 倒裝
If she were to accept the offer… → Were she to accept the offer…
意思完全相同：都是 假設她接受這個提議的情況下。
這種倒裝 只用於正式場合，且只適用於「were + 主詞 + to + 動詞原形」這種假設語氣。
不可以用 “will” 或 “would” 在 if 子句裡做倒裝。
Identify the correct sentence:
(A) By the time he arrived, the show already ended.
(B) If I knew the answer, I would have told you.
(C) The team has been practicing for two hours when it started raining.
(D) By next year, she will have completed her degree. D
【解析】(A) By the time he arrived, the show already ended.
使用「by the time」時，表示「在他到達之前就已經發生的事情」，應該用 過去完成式： By the time he arrived, the show had already ended. By the time 文法
(B) If I knew the answer, I would have told you. 與現在/過去事實相反假設語氣
第二條件句（現在假設）：If I knew the answer, I would tell you.
第三條件句（過去假設）：If I had known the answer, I would have told you.
(C) The team has been practicing for two hours when it started raining.
時態不一致。前半句用 現在完成進行式，後半句用 過去式。應改為：
The team had been practicing for two hours when it started raining. （過去完成進行式 + 過去式）
(D) By next year, she will have completed her degree.
這是 未來完成式，表示「到明年之前，她將已經完成學位」。
結構正確：By + 時間點, will have + 過去分詞

(C) Revised: To win the competition, you must practice.

(D) He is addicted with video games. C
【解析】(A) He accused her for stealing his phone.
→He accused her of stealing his phone.

動詞 insist 後面要用 on + 名詞/動名詞，而不是 to + 動詞原形。
→She insisted on joining the meeting despite her illness.
(C) They succeeded in persuading the board to reconsider.
動詞 succeed 後面搭配 in + 動名詞，語法正確，句意也完整。

(A) The teacher demanded that he submitted his assignment.
(B) John, along with his friends, is coming.
(C) Had he been there, he would know the truth.
(D) He acted as if he would be the winner. B
【解析】
Option Status The Grammatical Rule
(A) The teacher demanded that he submitted… Incorrect Verbs like “demand,” “suggest,” or “insist” require the subjunctive mood. The base form of the verb must be used: “demanded that he submit.”
(B) John, along with his friends, is coming. Correct In Subject-Verb Agreement, phrases like “along with,” “as well as,” or “together with” do not change the number of the subject. Since “John” is singular, the verb “is” is correct.A along with B A和B 文法
(C) Had he been there, he would know… Incorrect This is a Third Conditional (past unreal) structure. It should be: “Had he been there, he would have known the truth.”
(D) He acted as if he would be the winner. Incorrect This describes an unreal comparison. Standard grammar uses the past subjunctive: “He acted as if he were the winner.”
Identify the error: No sooner the bell rang than the students ran out.
(A) No(B) the bell rang(C) than(D) ran out B
【解析】No sooner 句型一定要用 倒裝＋過去完成式 As soon as /Once/ On+ v-ing/Hardly when 一~就~文法
No sooner + had + 主詞 + 過去分詞 + than + 主詞 + 過去式
No sooner had the bell rung than the students ran out.
The Rule: Inversion with Negative Adverbs
When a sentence begins with a negative adverb or a restrictive phrase like “No sooner,” “Hardly,” or “Scarcely,” we must use inversion. This means the auxiliary verb (had/did) must come before the subject, much like a question.
How to Fix It
There are two common ways to fix the inversion in this sentence:
Using “Had” (Past Perfect):
No sooner had (auxiliary) the bell (subject) rung (past participle) than…
Using “Did” (Past Simple):
No sooner did (auxiliary) the bell (subject) ring (base form) than…
Starting Phrase Correct Conjunction Example
No sooner… …than No sooner had I arrived than it started raining.
Hardly… …when / before Hardly had he started speaking when he was interrupted.
Scarcely… …when / before Scarcely had she finished when the phone rang.
Identify the error:
Despite the players complained about the rain and some fans left early, the match continued.
(A) Despite(B) about(C) some(D) continued
【解析】Despite 之後只能接 名詞、代名詞或動名詞（V-ing），不能接完整子句（主詞＋動詞）。although/Much as/ Despite 雖然…但是…文法句型
改用連接詞 Although / Though：
Although the players complained about the rain and some fans left early, the match continued.
Despite，但改成名詞或動名詞結構：
Despite the players’ complaints about the rain and some fans leaving early, the match continued.
Word Followed by… Example
Despite Noun / Gerund Despite the rain, we played.
In spite of Noun / Gerund In spite of feeling ill, he worked.
Although Subject + Verb Although it was raining, we played.
Even though Subject + Verb Even though he felt ill, he worked.
.Identify the error:
The more chances he has at dealing with significant matters, the less patience he has for trial issues.
(A) chances(B) dealing with(C) the less(D) trial D
【解析】trial 的意思是「審判的、試驗的」，不符合語意。
正確應該是 trivial issues
trivial = 瑣碎的、不重要的
才能和前面的 significant matters（重大事情） 形成正確對比。
Option Status Explanation
(A) chances Correct Used here as a countable noun meaning “opportunities.”
(B) dealing with Correct A standard phrasal verb meaning “handling” or “managing.”
(C) the less Correct This follows the double comparative structure: “The [comparative], the [comparative].” Since “patience” is uncountable, “less” is correct.
(D) trial Incorrect A “trial” is a formal examination in court or a test. The sentence requires an adjective that means “minor” or “of little importance” to contrast with “significant.” The correct word is trivial.
