thank u Valen

Thursday, November 5th 2009Reply to this comment

Hi, I woul like to know if your sentence is correct or not, you wrote I WISH I WAS RICH…….., but I know that one rule says that when you’re using wish to talk about things that you want to be true now, but that are not true you must use simple past after wish, but you have to use were instead of was after wish; so, your example should be I WISH I WERE RICH. I would like to know if I’m right or not. Thank you!!!

Friday, November 6th 2009Reply to this comment

    Hi,

    You are right. You do use the simple past. “I wish I WERE rich” is correct. Thanks, hello!

    Monday, November 16th 2009Reply to this comment

    What you mention is the “subjunctive tense.” To express something imaginary, unreal, hypothetical…

    A) I wish I were rich. I wish he were in Thailand. I wish she were my girlfriend.

    The above is the formal, prescribed grammar… (they all express unreal or imaginary situations).

    BUT, one can also say and hear:

    B) I wish I was rich. I wish he was in Thailand. I wish she was my girlfriend.

    Example (A) is prescribed, formal grammar (best for tests).

    Example (B) is also used, even by native speakers. It is “wrong” only in the formal sense. It is “right” because native speakers say it all the time.

    (A) I wish I were a better person.

    versus

    (B) I wish I was a better person.

    Which is correct? For a test, (A) is correct. For everyday usage, either (A) or (B) is correct, BUT you will probably hear (B) more often.

    This is simply because the subjunctive tense is not used by native speakers in some situations; maybe the subjunctive sounds strange [it does!], maybe it is going out of style [perhaps some day it will]…

Wednesday, November 7th 2012Reply to this comment

Hi Valen, I like your explanation about “wish and hope”. I read the next …”He never help me with the dishes. I wish he would…”. Wish and then would, is for example, when you want or you like this person ( he ); changes. and he helps me with the dishes… For example, is it OK… you are at home, and it’s raining all day. and you think….”I wish it would stop raining…”. Wish …. would; is it ok?. b’cause you want to stop raining…

Hi Valen. It’s a little bit confusing with me sometimes. I suppose to regret about something about the present, I have to say: “I wish [subj] [past tense]. To regret about something about the past: “I wish [subj] [past perfect]. Instead, if I want someone/something change and I’m just complaining about, I have to use “I wish [subj] would [inifinite]. Now, sometimes it’s not so different,, isn’t it? (I wish it stopped raining/I wish it would stop raining) Are both these forms correct? or am I wrong? Cheers

    Hi Marco. Try to watch Adam´s lesson about “The subjunctive: I wish”.

    When “wish” stands for a non-real situation you need to drop one tense back. Eg: (real: it´s rainy now) so: I wish it would be dry tomorrow. / I wish it would stop raining. / I wish the rain would stop.
    Maybe I´m wrong, but that´s the way I got it.

Many thanks for your nice and great online teaching.I’m a teacher but not english teacher,my field is electronic ,teaching for mor than 20 years and I can daresay you are a great teacher.One question about this video . Shouldn’t we say ” I wish,I were rich .” and not was rich? I have in my mind that for I and it,we have to use were not was. Please let me know which one is correct?
thanks

I wish I were an English teacher who has the ability to pronounce `dot com` such a cute way like you, Miss (?) Valen :D
I hope I’ll hear that sentence-fragment just a slight-little bit more than I can save my physical and mental healthness :D

How strange, theachers from the same Institute ( this website) teach different things:

One teaches that it isn’t supposed to be I wish I Was but just I wish I WERE ( if I remember right it was Adam), another teaches I wish I Was.

Perhaps, because one teacher is native, another not?

Thank you, I appreciate your answer.

Hi Valen. I got confused with the last sentence: “I´ve eaten too much. I wish I hadn´t”. Can present perfect + past perfect be together in the same scenario? I thought past perfect could be used only with simple past…
