  • zh表达愿望的语法结构,表示希望某种情况与现实不同,常带有遗憾或对假想改变的渴望。

A verb pattern used to express a desire that a situation were different from reality, often implying regret or a longing for a hypothetical change. 'I wish' is typically followed by a clause with a past tense (for present/future wishes), past perfect (for past regrets), or 'would' (for annoyance or desire for change).
