Tips In Use

What if I make too many mistakes?
(万一我犯太多的错该怎么办?)

What if...should...?  要是……的话要怎么办?
本句型乃表示对未来状况存疑的假设语气。if 子句多置助动词 should。例:

 What if it should rain?
= What might happen if it should rain?
= What could we do if it should rain?
(要是下雨了怎么办?)

注意:
"what if"之后亦可用现在式,故上列例句可改写成:

What if it rains?
= What may happen if it rains?
= What should we do if it rains?
