过去将来完成时

　　过去将来完成时由“would+have+过去分词”构成

　　表示从过去某一时间来看将来某时会已经完成的动作。

　　如： I thought Sophia would have told you something.

　　我想索菲娅会已告诉你一些情况。

　　He knew by the time he arrived she would have gone home.

　　I guessed that Mother would have made some sandwiches by the time we got back.

　　我猜我们回来时妈妈已经做好一些三明治了。

　　用于虚拟语气中

　　若表示与过去事实相反的虚拟语气，此时条件从句的谓语用过去完成时(had+过去分词)，而主句谓语则通常用过去完成时(would+have+过去分词)，当然，主句谓语也可根据情况使用“should (could, might)+have+过去分词”。

　　如： If I’d left sooner, I'd have been on time.

　　要是我早点动身，我就准时到了。(但我动身太迟了)

　　If we had found him earlier we could have saved his life.

　　要是我们当时早点找到他的话，我们就可以救活他。(可惜我们找到他太晚了)
