WISH CLAUSE

CHUYÊN ĐỀ : WISH CLAUSE A.

Lý thuyết Định nghĩa:

I.

Sau WISH (ước, ước gì) và IF ONLY (giá mà, phải chi) là một mệnh đề chỉ điều ước, một điều không có thật.

II.

Phân loại:

1. Wish about the future: Chúng ta sử dụng câu ước ở tương lai với mong muốn ai đó, sự việc gì đó sẽ tốt đẹp hơn trong tương lai. Cấu trúc: S + WISH + S + would/ could + V (bare-infinitive) IF ONLY + S + would/ could + V (bare-infinitive) Example:   

I wish you wouldn’t leave your clothes all over the floor. I wish I would be an astronaut in the future. If only I would take the trip with you next week..

We use wish + would to talk about something in the present that we would like to change – usually something that we find annoying.

2. Wish about the present: Chúng ta dùng câu ước ở hiện tại để ước về điều không có thật ở hiện tại, thường là thể hiện sự nuối tiếc về tình huống hiện tại (regret about present situations). Cấu trúc: S + WISH + S+ V (simple past) IF ONLY + S+ V (simple past) (be were) Tài liệu sưu tầm, tổng hợp Page 1|9

WISH CLAUSE Example:    

If wish I were rich. (But I am poor now). I can’t swim. I wish I could swim. If only she were here. (The fact is that she isn’t here). We wish that we didn’t have to go to class today. (The fact is that we have to go to class today).

When we talk about present regrets, both wish and if only are followed by the past simple tense. The past tense emphasises that we are talking about something ‘unreal’ 3. Wish about the past Chúng ta sử dụng câu ước ở qúa khứ để ước điều trái với những gì xảy ra trong quá khứ, thường là để diễn tả sự nuối tiếc với tình huống ở quá khứ. Cấu trúc: S + WISH + S + HAD+V3/ed = IF ONLY + S + HAD + V3/ed S + WISH + S + COULD HAVE + V3/ed = IF ONLY+ S + COULD HAVE + V3/ed Example:     

If only I had gone by taxi. (I didn’t go by taxi). I wish I hadn’t failed my exam last year. (I failed my exam). She wishes she had had enough money to buy the house. (She didn’t have enough money to buy it). If only I had met her yesterday. (I didn’t meet her). She wishes she could have been there. (She couldn’t be there.)

Both wish and if only are followed by the past perfect tense when we talk about past regrets. III. Chú ý: 1. Wish in fixed expressions -We can use I / We wish you in fixed expressions. Example:  I wish you a happy birthday.  We wish you good luck in your new job. 2. Wish and hope

WISH CLAUSE -To simply express that you want something to happen in the future (not talking about wanting an action or situation to be different, and not talking about impatience or annoyance) we use hope, not wish. Example:  I hope it's sunny tomorrow. (NOT I wish it was sunny tomorrow.)  I hope she passes her exam next week. (NOT I wish she were passing her exam next week) 3. Wish and want -We can use wish + infinitive or wish + object + infinitive to mean want in a formal situation. Example:  I wish to leave now. (+ infinitive)  I wish to speak to your supervisor please. (+ infinitive)  I do not wish my name to appear on the list. (+ object + infinitive) B.
