in case that/for fear that/in case of/for fear of等
in case是引导条件状语从句假如,万一;而for fear是引导目的状语从句以防,以免是吗?in case of和for fear of呢?还有可以用虚拟语气吗?
in case 用于引出以后可能发生的事件时,其后从句用一般目前时,不需要一般以后时。要说:Write it down in case you forget. 记下来,别忘了。......别说:in case you will forget
in case 用于引出过去的事件时,其后从句用一般过去时,不需要过去以后时。要说:I took my umbrella in case it rained.我带上了伞,以防下雨。......别说:in case it would rain
在较正式的英语中,可以用 in case something should happen 表示以免某事发生: Heres a contact number, in case there should be a problem. 这是联系电话,有问题可拨打。
