Ifleft unchecked, they will impede the healthy development of the entire society.

假如不加以控制,不真实承诺则会干扰整个社会的健康进步。


请问上面句子中left为何是过去式呢?可以是If leave unchecked吗?

if从句可以省略和主句相同的主语,但需要是连同be一块省略,也就是说if left unchecked, 是省略了主语they和are, are left为被动语态。left是过去分词,不是过去式。

leave something unchecked, 被动结构为 something is left unchecked.
