1. if + 주어 + were ～: 가정법 과거

If I were you, I would follow the safety rules.	(내가 너라면, 안전 수칙을 따를 텐데.)

If I knew the fact, I could tell you.	(내가 그 사실을 안다면, 너에게 말해줄 텐데)

․‘내가 슈퍼맨이라면…’처럼 없는 사실을 있는 것처럼 생각해 보는 것을 가정법이라고 한다. 가정법 과거는 'If + 주어 + 동사의 과거[were], + 주어 + would, [should, could, might]+동사 원형‘ 으로 표현한다. 과거 시제를 사용하지만 현재 사실의 반대이다.

ex) If I were a Superman, I could fly to you.	(내가 슈퍼맨이라면 너에게 날아갈 텐데.)

= Because I'm not a Superman, I can't fly to you.

[참고] I wish + 가정법: ‘～하면 좋을 텐데.’라는 뜻으로 바람을 나타낸다.

ex) I wish I had more money.	(돈이 더 있다면 좋을 텐데.)

2. <It is ～ + to + 동사 원형>

It is difficult to learn French.	(프랑스어를 배우는 것은 어렵다.)

It is easy to speak English.	(영어를 말하는 것은 쉽다.)

․의미: ～하는 것은 …하다.(어렵다, 쉽다, 가능하다, 불가능하다)

․이 때 it은 아무런 뜻이 없이 뒤에 나오는 <to + 동사 원형>을 대신하여 주어 자리를 차지하므로 ‘ 가주어 it'이라고 불린다. 한편 뒤에 나오는 <to + 동사 원형>은 ’진주어‘가 된다.

ex) It is difficult to know the life spans of wild animals.   (야생 동물의 수명을 알기는 어려워)

Let's Read

How are you?  I'm Jack Morris, the host of My Family's the Best show.  Next month, we're going to choose the

family who can save the most on electricity, water, and gas.  We'll look at your gas, water, and electricity bills this

month and next month and decide whose bills show the biggest savings.

Insu	: Mom, Dad, how about taking part in the contest?

Dad	: Sounds great.

Mom	: So let's find out the best way to save energy.

Insuk	: Why not?

(A few days later)

Insu	: I thought about how to save electricity.

If we unplug the TV and the computer when not using them, we can save 5 kw a month.

Mom	: Really?  Then we ought to unplug them.

Insuk	: I found out about the refrigerator.  By putting in food after cooling it and filling only 60% of the space, we can

save almost three times as much electricity.

Dad	: Everybody has worked hard.  I found out about the fan and the air conditioner. One air conditioner uses as

much electricity as 30 fans.  Also, turning a fan on□low" saves 30% more electricity than when it's on

□high."  So I'm going to keep the fan on low as often as possible.  On very hot days, I'll set the air

conditioner at 28˚C.

Mom	: I looked into the washing machine. It is important to put in the proper amount of clothes. Also, I changed

all the light bulbs to energy-saving ones.  I'm going to clean the blubs and their covers regularly.

Insuk	: We seem to waste as much water as electricity.  We can save about 1,500 liters of water a month by

using a container when brushing our teeth or washing our hands.  Also, if we put a brick in the water tank

in the bathroom, we can save 730 liters of water a month.

Mom	: Good idea.  What about the transportation bill?

Dad	: I'm going to use public transportation instead of the car.  If necessary, I'll run a car pool with our neighbors.  I

could probably save more than 100,000 won a month.

Insu	: To prevent air pollution and save energy, I'm going to bike to school.

Insuk	: I'm going to walk to school for both my health and money.

Mom	: I'm proud of you.

Dad	: If we do what we've said, we will be able to win the prize.

(After a month) Now here's the winning family.  It's the Kim family who takes first place.  Congratulations!  This

family is the best at saving energy.  We all ought to become a great energy-saving family like the Kims.  Thanks

for joining us.  I'll see you next time.  Bye for now.
