| 1. | The imperfect subjunctive is used in purpose and result clauses
假设语气未完成式动词用于目的子句和结果子句。 |
| 2. | The imperfect subjunctive must be viewed a little different than other tenses
假设语气未完成式动词和其他时式稍有不同。 |
| 3. | Instead of considering the imperfect tense as a specific tense , consider it as a time reference
我们最好不要将未完成式视为一具体时式，而是视之为一参考性质的时间座标。 |
| 4. | If the main verb is future , then the imperfect will be translated in the future
（拉丁文）主要子句的动词为未来式，则（拉丁文）附属子句的未完成式动词要译成英文的未来式。 |
| 5. | If the main verb is in the past tense , the imperfect will be translated as a past
（拉丁文）主要子句的动词为过去式，则（拉丁文）附属子句的未完成式动词要译成英文的过去式。 |
| 6. | So , if the main verb is in the present tense , the imperfect tense will be translated as a present
（拉丁文）主要子句的动词为现在式，则（拉丁文）附属子句的未完成式动词要译成英文的现在式。 |
| 7. | So the imperfect is again not so much a specific tense as it is an indicator of a time relationship
因之，与其说拉丁文的假设语气未完成式动词表示某一个别时态，倒不如说表示和主要子句动词的时间关系。 |
| 8. | The imperfect subjunctive implies that the time of the subordinate clause is going on at the same time as the main verb
假设语气未完成式动词意谓附属子句动作发生的时间和主要子句动作发生的时间相同，亦即是附属子句的动作和主要子句的动作同时发生。 |
