Lan’s Malaysian pen pal, Razali Maryam, was staying with Lan last week.

Maryam is from Kuala Lumpur. Maryam and Lan have been pen pals for over two
years and they correspond at least once every two weeks, but this was their first
meeting.

On Maryam's first day in Ha Noi, Lan took her to Hoan Kiem Lake. Like Kuala
Lumpur, Ha Noi is a busy modern city. Maryam was really impressed by the
beauty of the city and by the friendliness of its people.

Over the next few days, the girls visited Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum, the History
Museum and the Temple of Literature, as well as many beautiful parks and lakes
in Ha Noi. On Friday, Maryam wanted to visit the mosque on Hang Luoc Street.
Lan used to walk past the mosque on her way to primary school. However, this
was Lan’s first visit. She enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere while Maryam was
praying.

“I wish you had a longer vacation,” Lan said to Maryam at the end of the week.

“Yes, I wish I had more time to get to know your beautiful country better. Lan,
would you like to come and visit me next summer?” Maryam asked.

“That would be great! However, it seems very difficult for me to have a trip
abroad. It all depends on my parents. Anyway, we’ll keep in touch.”

Past simple tense with "wish" (Thì quá khứ đơn dùng "wish")

Subject + wish + (that) + subject + verb (V_ed / VI)

Chú ý:

Subject + wish + (that) + ... = If only + (that) + ...

Đối với động từ to be, thì were có thể được dùng cho tất cả các ngôi.

Ví dụ:

- I wish I could speak French now = If only I could speak French now.

- I wish I didn't have to do this job = If only I didn't have to do this job.

- I wish I/he/she were a doctor = If only I/he/she were a doctor.

Áp dụng:

Chúng ta dùng wish với động từ ở quá khứ đơn (past simple) để nói rằng chúng ta tiếc nuối một điều gì đó
hoặc điều gì đó xảy ra không như chúng ta mong muốn.

Ví dụ:

- I wish (that) I had enough time to finish my research. (Tôi ước tôi có đủ thời gian để hoàn tất việc nghiên
cứu của tôi.) → [Thật sự hiện tại tôi không đù thời gian.]

- They wish (that) they didn't have to go to class today. (Họ ước họ không phải đến lớp vào ngày hôm nay.)
→ [Thật sự hôm nay họ phải đến lớp.]

- I wish (that) you could stay longer. (Tôi ước bạn có thể ở lại lâu hơn.) → [Thật sự hiện giờ bạn không thể ở
lại lâu hơn.]

- I wish I were older. (Tôi ước tôi nhiều tuổi hơn.) → [Thật sự tôi không thể nhiều tuổi hơn.]

- She wishes she were rich. (Cô ta ước cô ta giàu có.) → [Thật sự cô ta không giàu có.
