WISH Rules & Explanations

     

                                                             WISH RULES

1. WISH + LONG INFINITIVE

ex. I wish to go - nu se foloseste foarte des acest tip de exprimare. De obicei folosim verbul want in loc de wish

2. WISH + PAST TENSE - O DORINTA PREZENTA [PRESENT WISH / FACT / ACTION]

Obs. Cand trebuie sa folosim verbul BE, indiferent de persoana, forma WERE este preferata chiar si in cazul persoanelor I si a III-a singular. 
ex. I wish I were you - as vrea sa fiu in locul tau.
She wishes she were him - ea isi doreste sa fie in locul lui

They wish [that este eliptic, de obicei ] they had a big house - ei isi doresc sa aiba o casa mare
He wishes he went to the beach - isi doreste sa se duca la plaja.

3. WISH + PAST PERFECT - PAST REGRET

I wish I hadn`t made that blunder at the party last night - Imi doresc sa nu fi facut acea gafa seara trecuta, la petrecere / la petrecerea de seara trecuta

She wishes he had helped her two days ago - ea isi doreste ca el s-o fi ajutat cu 2 zile in urma [ dar n-a facut-o - past regret ]
