| 词组 | would have |
| 释义 | would have The use of would have in place of had in the protasis of a conditional sentence (as in "If they would have come earlier, we could have left on time") has been cited as an error in books on usage since at least 1924 (Garland Greever & Easley S. Jones, The Century Collegiate Handbook). Such usage appears to be a characteristic of informal speech, in which it may often occur in a contracted form ("If they'd have come earlier ..."). Our evidence indicates that it does not occur in standard writing that finds its way into print, but it is notorious in student writing and therefore a staple of college handbooks even today.
