Thank you very much. Without your help we ______ car started. A．didn’t get B．hadn’t got C．couldn’t get D．couldn’t have got

Answer 1

D

试题分析：考查虚拟语气：Without your help是隐含的虚拟语气，相当于：If it hadn’t been for your help，是和过去相反的虚拟条件句，主句用情态动词could+have done，句意：谢谢，没有你的帮助我们就不能让汽车启动。选D。 点评：if的虚拟语气非常重要，简要概括如下：1、表示与现在事实相反的情况，从句：If主语+过去时(Be动词用were)；主句：主语+should/would/could/might+do：　2、表示与过去事实相反的情况，从句：If主语+had+done；主句：主语+should/would/could/might+have done　3、表示对将来情况的主观推测，从句：①if+主语+were to do②if+主语+should+do ③if+主语+did（动词过去式）/were ；主句：主语+should/would/could/might+do，这句话是隐含的if虚拟语气的句子，如without，but for等，都是这个用法。
