Unit 3 Grammar Test V. Form 7. Grammar test. i wish i ... there to see Dan's face when they told him the news.

Answer 1

1/ I wish I were there to see Dan's face when they told him the news. or I wish I was there to see Dan's face when they told him the news. - некоторые учебники в условных и подобных предложениях предлагают употреблять "I were".

2/ I wish I had been there to see Dan's face when they told him the news.

Употребление времени (Past Simple или Pasr Perfect) зависит от контекста (предыдущие предложения).

Answer 2

i wish i had been there to see Dan's face when they told him the news.

Правило: I wish + глагол в Past Simple (в настоящем времени); I wish + глагол в Past Perfect (в прошедшем) I wish you were here - Жаль, что тебя здесь нет. I wish you had been here - Жаль, что тебя не было здесь.
