Analyzing grammar issue

The user asked about the sentence, "But for the favorable weather, we couldn't get in such a good harvest." The phrase “get in” is often used for bringing in a harvest, but it’s not quite right here. For a counterfactual, we should use a perfect conditional, like “couldn’t have gotten in” or “wouldn’t have gotten.” The structure "But for" means "if not for." The intended meaning seems to be, "Without the favorable weather, we wouldn’t have had such a good harvest."

The issue with the sentence "But for the favorable weather, we couldn't get in such a good harvest" is mainly tense confusion.

这句话的问题主要是 时态与虚拟语气不匹配。

  • but for + 名词 相当于 if it had not been for…，表示对过去事实的假设（“要不是……”）。
  • 既然是假设过去与事实相反的情况，从句(= 事实条件)保持过去式或现在完成式无妨，但主句必须用 “情态动词 + have + 过去分词” 来表示“本来会/能/可能……（但实际上没有）”。

因此主句里的 couldn't get in（一般过去式）应改为 couldn't have got /gotten in，或更常见的 wouldn't have had。

改正示例

  • But for the favorable weather, we couldn't have got in such a good harvest.
  • But for the favorable weather, we wouldn't have had such a good harvest.

其它部分（词序、用词如 such a good harvest, get in 等）都没有硬伤，核心问题就是虚拟语气的完成式。
