如果問起 will 同 would 嘅分別，可能大多數人都會答 would 係 will 嘅 past tense。除咗呢一點，喺以下嘅情況，我哋都會用 would 而唔用 will，繼續睇落去之前，大家又諗唔諗到有咩可能情況呢？

 

1. 用於 Conditional sentences

 

He would have won the champion if he had not been disqualified for the competition.

如果他沒有被取消比賽資格，他就會贏得冠軍。

 

2. 用於 Reported speech

 

She said she would arrive at the party at 9 pm.

她說她將在晚上 9 點到達聚會場地。

 

3. 表達對某事的喜愛程度 (通常接著 like/ hate/ prefer 等字使用)

 

I would love to exchange gifts for Christmas. That’s really interesting!

我很想一起玩聖誕節交換禮物，真的很有趣！

 

4. 用於 ‘wish’ 之後

 

I wish I would have a meaningful life, instead of muddling through the days.

我希望我能有一個有意義的人生，而不是渾渾噩噩地過日子。

 

5. 用於想像的情況

 

I would emigrate to South Korea if I spoke Korean.

如果我會說韓語，我會移民到韓國。

 

6. 表達對事情的不確定性

 

I would say she is about 20 before you are telling me her age.

在你告訴我她的年齡之前，我會說她看似約 20 歲。

 

7. 表達過往重覆的事

 

I would always make mistakes until I learned how to distinguish the words ‘will’ and ‘would’.

在我學會如何區分 ’will’ 和 ‘would’ 這兩個字之前，我總是會犯錯誤。

 

8. 表達禮貌的請求

 

Would you please pass the plate to me?

麻煩你可以把盤子遞給我嗎？
