Aș vrea să...
Când vrei să exprimi dorințe, regrete sau situații pe care ți-ar plăcea să fie diferite, folosești WISH și IF ONLY.
WISH + Past Simple - Dorințe despre prezent
I WISH + PAST SIMPLE
Pentru situații prezente pe care vrei să fie diferite:
"I wish I had more money."
Aș vrea să am mai mulți bani (dar nu am).
"I wish I were taller."
Aș vrea să fiu mai înalt (dar nu sunt).
💡 Notă:
Cu "be", folosești WERE pentru toate persoanele (ca la Second Conditional)!
✅ "I wish I were rich." (corect)
⚠️ "I wish I was rich." (acceptabil informal)
WISH + Past Perfect - Regrete despre trecut
I WISH + PAST PERFECT
Pentru regrete despre trecut (lucruri care s-au întâmplat sau nu):
"I wish I had studied harder."
Aș fi vrut să fi învățat mai mult (dar nu am învățat).
"I wish I hadn't said that."
Aș fi vrut să nu fi spus asta (dar am spus).
WISH + Would - Dorințe despre viitor/comportament
I WISH + WOULD
Pentru dorințe despre viitor sau comportamentul altora:
"I wish it would stop raining."
Aș vrea să se oprească ploaia.
"I wish he would call me."
Aș vrea să mă sune.
❌ Nu folosești "I wish I would" pentru tine însuți!
IF ONLY - Mai dramatic decât WISH
IF ONLY = Dacă numai... (mai emoțional, mai dramatic)
✅ "If only I had more time!" (prezent)
✅ "If only I had known!" (trecut)
✅ "If only it would stop raining!" (viitor)
IF ONLY = WISH, dar mai puternic emoțional!
Rezumat WISH
| Timp | Structură | Când folosești | Exemplu |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prezent | WISH + Past Simple | Dorință despre acum | "I wish I had a car." |
| Trecut | WISH + Past Perfect | Regret despre trecut | "I wish I had gone." |
| Viitor | WISH + Would | Dorință despre viitor/alții | "I wish he would come." |
