Some theories of conditionals maintain that the difference between indicative and subjunctive conditionals involves the standard temporal interpretation of past tense. I provide an argument against such theories. The argument is based on the claim that these views do not correctly predict the correspondence between tense marking and temporal interpretation in certain conditionals.

虚拟条件句中的过去时和过去时间

一些条件句理论认为，指示性条件句和虚拟条件句之间的区别涉及过去时的标准时间解释。我提供了一个反对这些理论的论据。该论点基于以下主张，即这些观点不能正确预测某些条件中时态标记和时间解释之间的对应关系。
