"wish +宾语从句",表示不大可能实现的愿望(虚拟语气),具体如下,
表示现在的愿望:主语+过去时;
表示过去的愿望:主语+had done;或主语+would/could have done
表示将来的愿望:主语+would/could do
说明:
若要表示与现在事实相反的愿望从句语语用一般过去时或过去进行时
若表示与过去相反的愿望,从句谓语用过去完成时或would/ could+ have 过去分词:
若表示将来没有把或不太可能实现的愿顰,用 would/could+ 动词原形。

特别注意:
从句的时态只与从句所指的时间有关,而与 wish 的时态无关,比较:
I wish I were rich 要是我现在有钱就好了。
I wish I had been rich.要是那时我有钱就好了。
I wished I were rich 当时我后悔自己没有钱。
另外,分享一个词典上的疑似错误用法:
《韦氏高阶英汉双解词典》第1416页now词条
I wish I knew then what I know now. 当初我知道这些就好了。
——我一直很困惑这个句子,现在分享给大家一起研究讨论。
是不是应该使用:
I wish I had known then what I know now.
请大家一起参与讨论!
