你在使用虚拟语气时候才会使用“if I were”，虚拟语气用于谈论假设情况。

And that is when we use the " Subjunctive mood" .

这就是我们使用“虚拟语气”时候。

However " I were" as in " If I were you" is the correct form of the past subjunctive which is used here because obviously I am not you and I can't be you - so it's an imagined or unreal situation - " If I were you."

但是，" If I were you" 中I Were是，这是虚拟语气用法，因为明显I不可能成为You。" If I were you" 是一种不真实而想象出来情况。

If I said, " I suggested they stop eating out so often if they want to save money, " you can't see that the verbs stop is in the subjunctive form but this is a subjunctive sentence.

Let me give you some examples of the subjunctive mood.

让我给你举几个虚拟语气例子。

The use of the past tense we're getting in the sentence it's time the four of us were getting home is an example of using the subjunctive mood to express a situation that is desired or hypothetical.

But such warnings were issued precisely because British scribblers were, in fact, indulging: use of the subjunctive increased markedly in the 20th century in Britain.

I agree if by " the teaching of formal grammar" is meant memorizing the parts of speech or rehearsing the distinction between dependent and independent clauses or listing the uses of the subjunctive.

The subjunctive in question is the present one, which can be distinguished by the lack of the usual -s on first- and third-person singular verbs, as in take instead of takes.

所讨论虚拟语气是现在时态，可以通过第一人称和第三人称单数动词缺少通常-s来区分，比如使用take而不是takes。
