menwhorecentlyspentfivedaysonacoralislandwishedtheyhadstayedtherelonger.who引導(dǎo)定語從句wish引導(dǎo)省略that的賓語從句wish之后的賓語從句中要使用虛擬語氣

(1)假如表達與現(xiàn)在情況相反,that從句中的動詞要用過去時（be

動詞要用were）。

--Iwishyoucoulddriveacar.=Iamsorryyoucan’tdriveacar.

你要是能開車就好了。（表達一種遺憾的心情）

(2)假如表達與過去情況相反,that從句中的動詞要用過去完成時。

--IwishIhadn'tspentsomuchmoney.=IamsorryIspendsomuchmoney.

--Iwishthatyouhadwrittentohim.=Iamsorryyoudidn’twritetohim.(3)假如表達與將來事實相反的情況或?qū)聿豢赡軐崿F(xiàn)的心愿,that從句中要使用would,

could

等情態(tài)動詞的過去時形式。

--IwishthatIcouldgoabroadtomorrow.

4>ifonly要比wish更富有戲劇性和感情色彩
