【问】 (1)If it were to rain，the ropes would snap. They're far too tight.

(2) If I were to do that，what would you say?

我已明白were to是虚拟语气，表示与将来事实可能相反的假设，那么，下列句子是否也具有此种含义呢?

If you were to move your chair a bit to the right，we could all sit down.

【答】 If you were to...常常用来表示建议。这里的虚拟语气具有极大的试探性和询问性，因此能表达委婉、客气的语气。
