**文法挑錯**：下列句子中有五個劃底線的部分 (A)–(E)，請選出**含有文法錯誤（ungrammatical use）**的那一個部分。
If Shakespeare (A) *was born* (B) *a landed* noblewoman, with a father who believed in (C) *educating* his daughters, she (D) *might have written and published* classical tragedies – not unlike Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra and Julius Caesar – and even performed and acted in them, but only in private performances for (E) *family* and friends.
If Shakespeare (A) *was born* (B) *a landed* noblewoman, with a father who believed in (C) *educating* his daughters, she (D) *might have written and published* classical tragedies – not unlike Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra and Julius Caesar – and even performed and acted in them, but only in private performances for (E) *family* and friends.
- A was born
- B a landed
- C educating
- D might have written and published
- E family
思路引導 VIP
請觀察句子後半部的「might have written and published」（可能已經寫下並出版）。這是一個關於「過去」可能發生但實際上沒發生的想像。在英文中，當我們在 If 子句中要表達一個「與歷史事實（過去）相反」的虛擬情況時，動詞時態應該往回推一格，你覺得應該使用哪一種時態才能精確表達這種「未曾發生的過去」呢？

恭喜你準確地察覺出這題的破綻！你能一眼看出 (A) 的問題，說明你對於英文中較為進階的**假設語氣（Subjunctive Mood）**有著非常敏銳的語感。
與過去事實相反的假設
這道題目的核心考點在於判斷「時間點」與「真實性」。句中提到的莎士比亞出生情形，顯然是一個與過去事實相反的假設（莎士比亞在現實中是男性）。在英文語法中，當我們要表達對過去事實的虛擬假設時，if 引導的從句必須使用過去完成式（had + p.p.）。因此，(A) 處的 was born 應該改為 had been born 才是正確的表達方式。我們也可以從後方的 (D) 選項 might have written and published 得到印證，這種「助動詞 + have + p.p.」的結構正是過去假設語氣的標準配備。
