Question

虚拟语气的选择题

He would rather()than worked last night.
A have slept
B has slept
C sleep
D slept
答案为A 可是would rather表示过去的虚拟不是应该用过去完成时had done吗？求大神讲解

Answer 1

would rather+一般过去时 和现在现实相反
would rather have done 和过去事实相反
（要知道would rather后面只能+原形的）

和过去相反用had done那是在if的条件句里

Answer 2

解释如下
这里“would+have+done”虚拟语气，表示对过去事情的假设，意思是“本来会做”。
例句：
I would have told you all about the boy's story, but you didn't ask me.
我本来会告诉你这个小男孩的故事，但是你没有问我。
