要不是有 用法|豐富例句If it were not for與If it had not been for

要不是有 在英文中要怎表達呢？

在日常生活中，我們蠻常使用 假設語氣 。除了「如果…」的基本用法外，還有「要不是…」、「若非有…」的句型 If it were not for…或If it had not been for…。

這個句型很簡單，只要根據假設語氣的概念，依照發生的時間分為「與現在事實相反」和「與過去事實相反」的用法，記住現在假設主要使用過去式動詞，過去假設主要使用過去分詞had pp，然後背下句型公式就可以囉。

在開始學習If it were not for與If it had not been for之前，建議先複習假設語氣的基本用法：現在假設語氣與過去假設語氣。
