D. If I had been you, I would study harder.
题目解答
答案
B. If I were you, I would study harder.
解析
本题考查虚拟语气（subjunctive mood）的正确用法，核心在于判断条件句中动词的恰当形式。
- 关键知识点：在表示与现在事实相反的假设条件句中，if从句中需使用were（无论主语人称），主句则用would + 动词原形。
- 常见错误：混淆虚拟语气与陈述句的时态（如选项A的was错误），或时态不一致（如选项D的had been与主句时态矛盾）。
选项分析
A. If I was you, I would study harder.
- 错误原因：虚拟语气中，if从句应使用were而非was，无论主语是第一人称还是其他人称。
- 正确形式：
If I were you...
B. If I were you, I would study harder.
- 正确性：完全符合虚拟语气规则。
- if从句使用were（与现在事实相反的假设）。
- 主句使用would + 动词原形（
study harder），结构正确。
C. If I am you, I would study harder.
- 错误原因：虚拟语气中，if从句需用过去时（
were），而非现在时（am）。 - 逻辑矛盾：
If I am you本身与逻辑矛盾（无法成为对方）。
D. If I had been you, I would study harder.
- 错误原因：if从句的had been表示与过去事实相反的假设，但主句would study harder描述的是现在行为，时态不一致。
