How to use ‘wish’

英文:
Hi everyone, Tom here from BBC Learning English in London and today I'm going to tell you what to say after the word 'wish'.
When we're talking about wishes, we're talking about situations which are imaginary or unreal.
To show this, after saying 'I wish', we use the past to talk about the wish, which is in the present.
So, I could say, 'I wish I had a cup of tea'.
Ah, thank you!
Now, if we want to make a wish about the past we need to use the past past, or the past perfect.
For example, I wish I had chosen a more formal shirt before I filmed this video today.
中文:
大家好,我是来自伦敦BBC Learning English的Tom,今天我将告诉你在说完“wish”之后应该说什么。 当我们谈论愿望时,我们谈论的是想象或不真实的情况。为了表示这一点,在说完“我希望”之后,我们使用过去时态来谈论愿望,这个愿望是在现在的情况下。
因此,我可以说,“我希望我有一杯茶。”啊,谢谢!
现在,如果我们想对过去做出一个愿望,我们需要使用过去完成时态。 例如,“我希望我在今天拍摄这个视频之前选择了一件更正式的衬衫。”
