Question：老师，wish后面还有其他动词形式可以用吗？
Answer：可以，我们今天继续学习虚拟语气的其他应用。条件句和虚拟语气（8）I wish…/ If only…（2）
Wish/If only +过去完成式：
Reading：
It’sa month later. Brad has left the flat. The two girls’ are talking about him.
“It seems strange without Brad, doesn’t it?
“ Yes, I sometimes wish we hadn’t asked himto leave. He was a very nice guy really. He had a great sense of humour. I wishwe’d tried to discuss things with him.”
“Iknow. I wish I hadn’t criticized him so much.”
“If only he hadn’t been so untidy.”
“ If only he hadn’t smoked in the flat.”
“If only, if only ! If only things had beendifferent ! Why are we talking like this ? We can’t change the past.”
1．用 wish或 if only +过去完成式表示对过去发生过的或没有发生过的事情的遗憾。
I wish we hadn’t asked him to leave.
(But they asked him to leave.)
Ifonly he hadn’tsmoked in the flat.
(But he smoked in the flat.)
2．在wish/if only.后面不用would have
I wish we’d tried(had tried) to talk to each other more.
(而不是I wish we would have tried.)
注意．在wouldrather后可用同样的结构：
I would rather they came tomorrow.
I would rather they had come the daybefore.
小练习： 完成句子：
1They asked Brad to leave. Now they wish they ____ him to leave.
2.Brad was untidy. Now Louise says: “I wish he____ so untidy.”
3.Brad smoked a lot. They wish he ____ in theflat.
上期答案：
I 1would do 2 wouldn’t leave 3 could persuade
II 1lived 2 had 3 didn’t smoke
小结：
*用一般过去式或过去进行式表示对现在情形的遗憾。I wish the sun was shining.
*用过去完成式表示对过去发生过的或没有发生过的事情的遗憾。I wish we hadn’t come.
