If I were you和if I was you的区别
唯一区别是情感色彩不同。
If I were you更加正式,适用于书面语或者正式场合下;
例句:
If I were you, Mrs Gretchen, I just wouldn't worry about it
要是我是你,格蕾琴夫人,我一点都不会担心。
if I was you比较口语化,适用于和朋友聊天的场合下。
例句:
If I was you, I'd watch out who I was talking to.
如果我是你,我会提防那个人。
扩展资料:
1、if
英 [ɪf] 美 [ɪf]
conj.如果;假若;倘若;当;无论何时;每次;与will或would连用,表示客气地请求
n.不确定的情况
例句:She gets very upset if I exclude her from anything
要是有什么事情我不让她参加,她会非常难过。
2、were
英 [wə(r)] 美 [wər]
be 的过去时复数和第二人称单数形式;有时代替 was,用于条件从句、动词 wish 之后等。
例句:They were photographed and had their fingerprints taken.
他们被拍了照,还被提取了指纹。
3、was
英 [wəz] 美 [wəz]
be的第一和第三人称单数过去式。
例句:Right off I want to confess that I was wrong.
我立刻就想承认我错了。
只不过if i were you 比if i was you 更正式。口语中经常用was,而正式的说法当然用were.
像一个黑人pop star就有一首歌叫做if I was you
I bet you wake up in the morning and you kiss yourself
'Cause I would, if I was you
I bet you show up to the club and just dance with yourself
'Cause I would, if I was you
以上是非常口语化的用法,正式场合或者考试的时候可千万不能用哦。
说if I were you什么时候也不会错。埃尔维斯·普雷斯利(Elvis Presley),有一首歌就唱if I were you,you know that I love me.
可是还有另一首歌唱wish I was an apple,dangling from a tree……
即条件从句表示的行为和主句表示的行为所发生的时间不一致。
动词的形式要根据各自的不同时间分别处理。
如:if he had followed the doctor's advice,he would be quite all right now.
