I heard that...是个非常好用的句型,当你想说一些事情却又怕被骂的时候,只要在原来的句子前面加上I heard that,说成“我听说……”就行啦!例如:
I heard that Lisa is pregnant. 我听说莉莎怀孕了。
这样说的话,就算莉莎没有怀孕,也不会有人来责怪你。

语法小教室
以上的例句讲的都是在将来“可能”会发生的事,所以主句中用的都是I will。如果用的是I would,就不一样了!例如:
If I were you, I would listen to her. 如果我是你的话,我会听她的。
“我”当然不可能是“你”啦!所以这句就出现了虚拟语气。
