“The president made a brilliant decision, didn’t he?”
“Yes, he did. I don’t know what I would have done if I____to make that decision.”
A、were【参考译文】“总统作出了一个英明的决定,不是么?”“是的。我不知道如果我不得不去做个决定我会怎样的。”
【试题分析】本题是一道语法分析题。
【详细解答】此处是一个对过去事情的假设,要用到虚拟语气。“If”引导的对过去事情的虚拟句中,主语用“wouldhavedone”的句型,虚拟条件从句用过去完成时。所以此处用“hadhad”。
