Přací věty – procvičování:

Na přací věty máme také lekci: If only (B1)

I wish I could fly like birds! = Kéž bych mohl létat jako ptáci!

Přání pro přítomnost:

I WISH (kéž by; přál bych si, aby...) často používáme v těchto konstrukcích:

Kéž bych byla vyšší.
I wish I was taller.
Kéž bych měl silnější paže.
I wish I had stronger arms.
Kéž bych trénoval víc.
I wish I had trained more.
Kéž bys odešel.
I wish you would leave.
I wish I had, I wish I knew...

Pokud chceme říct, že něco není tak, jak bychom si to představovali – je nám to líto a mrzí nás to, použijeme WISH + minulý čas (was, had, knew...):

I wish I had long hair. (= I don't have long hair, I regret this.)

I wish I knew Andy better. (= I don't know him well, I regret this. I would like to know him better.)

Nikoliv: I wish I HAVE..., I wish I KNOW...

Namísto WAS můžeme použít WERE:

Nikoliv: I wish I WOULD stop it.

WISH + WOULD používáme obvykle, pokud mluvíme o činnostech nebo dějích, ne o stavech. Se stavy používáme WISH + minulý čas:

Stav Činnost/děj
