我們說話要有禮貌,這是很重要的。

二、 虛擬語氣用于賓語從句中
當動詞ask, arrange, beg, advise, command, deserve, direct,desire, demand,determine, move, prefer, propose, intend, request, require, suppose 等后面接賓語從句時,從句的謂語用”should+動詞原形” 來表示虛擬語氣。

解析:
1、選A)。本題中vital后的主語從句用“should+動詞原形”的虛擬語氣形式,省略了should,來構成從句的謂語,符合語法規則,為正確答案。
2、選D)。動詞recommend表示“建議”,其后的賓語從句須用“should+動詞原形”的虛擬語氣形式,should可以省略。所以C為正確答案。
3、選C)。在本題中,動詞request后的賓語從句用”should+動詞原形”的虛擬語氣形式,并且是否定形式。
