Study Notes

The Rule of Wishing in English

Definition: The rule of wishing expresses desires or hypothetical situations. It often deals with situations that are unlikely or impossible.
Structure:
- Use "wish" + past subjunctive form of the verb for present unreal situations.
  - Example: "I wish I were taller."
- Use "wish" + past perfect for past unreal situations.
  - Example: "I wish I had studied harder."
Common Uses:
1. Present Wishes:
  - Expressing a desire for a current state or situation.
  - Example: "I wish it were sunny today."
2. Past Wishes:
  - Expressing regret about past actions or events.
  - Example: "I wish I had gone to the party."
3. Future Wishes:
  - Using "wish" with "would" to express a desire for future actions.
  - Example: "I wish you would stop smoking."
Important Notes:
- "Were" is often used instead of "was" in formal contexts, especially with "I" and "he/she/it."
- Avoid using "wish" for expressing simple desires; prefer "want" in those cases.
Common Errors:
- Incorrectly using "wish" with indicative mood (e.g., "I wish I am").
- Mixing up the structures for present and past wishes.
Variations:
- "If only" can be used interchangeably with "wish" for more emphasis.
  - Example: "If only I knew the answer."
Practice:
- Construct sentences using the structures to reinforce understanding.
- Identify sentences where "wish" is used incorrectly and correct them.
