menwhorecentlyspentfivedaysonacoralislandwishedtheyhadstayedtherelonger.who引导定语从句wish引导省略that的宾语从句wish之后的宾语从句中要使用虚拟语气

(1)假如表达与现在情况相反,that从句中的动词要用过去时（be

动词要用were）。

--Iwishyoucoulddriveacar.=Iamsorryyoucan’tdriveacar.

你要是能开车就好了。（表达一种遗憾的心情）

(2)假如表达与过去情况相反,that从句中的动词要用过去完成时。

--IwishIhadn'tspentsomuchmoney.=IamsorryIspendsomuchmoney.

--Iwishthatyouhadwrittentohim.=Iamsorryyoudidn’twritetohim.(3)假如表达与将来事实相反的情况或将来不可能实现的心愿,that从句中要使用would,

could

等情态动词的过去时形式。

--IwishthatIcouldgoabroadtomorrow.

--Iwishthatyoucouldcomeheretomorrow.

4>ifonly要比wish更富有戏剧性和感情色彩

--Ifonlytheweatherwouldchange.=Iwishtheweatherwouldchange.

--Wewishthatweknewwheretolookforhim.=Ifonlyweknewwheretolookforhim.

--Ifonlywecouldhavegonetotheparty.--Ifonlyyouhadn'tsaidthat.
