1、用于wish后面的从句,表示与事实相反的情况,或表示将来不太可能实现的愿望。
其宾语从句的动词形式为:真实状况wish后从句动作先于主句动词动作现在时过去时(be的过去式为were)从句动作与主句动作同时发生过去时过去完成时(had + 过去分词)将来不大可能实现的愿望将来时would/could+动词原形。
I wish I were as tall as you.我希望和你一样高。
2、Wish to do表达法。Wish sb / sth to doI wish to see the manager. = I want to see the manager.I wish the manager to be informed at once. (= I want the manager to be informed at once.)
虚拟条件句的倒装虚拟条件句的从句部分如果含有were, should, 或had, 可将if省略,再把were, should 或had 移到从句句首,实行倒装。
注意:
在虚拟语气的从句中,动词be的过去时态一律用"were",不用was,即在从句中be用were代替。
If I were you, I would go to look for him.如果我是你,就会去找他。
If he were here, everything would be all right.如果他在这儿,一切都会好的。
