The position of the if-clause and the main clause can be reversed and does not change its
meaning, for example:
"if clause" is used to describe conditions that if it will cause something or produce a
consequence, while "main clause" is used to explain the consequences themselves. The
meaning contained in a conditional sentence will be greatly influenced by the forms of time,
and this is what ultimately forms the conditional sentence into several types.
Note the different uses of wish and hope in the examples below:
1. We hope that they can come. (kita berharap bahwa mereka bisa datang). Dalam kalimat ini
subject we tidak tahu apakah they bisa datang atau tidak. Tetapi, ada kemungkinan bahwa
they bisa datang.
2. We wish that they could come. (kita berharap bahwa mereka bisa datang). Di sini, we sudah
tahu bahwa they tidak bisa datang. Faktanya adalah: they can’t come.
3. I hope that they came yesterday. (saya berharap kamu datang kemarin). Di sini, I tidak tahu
apakah they datang atau tidak kemarin.
4. I wish that they had come yesterday. (saya berharap bahwa mereka datang kemarin). Di
sini, I sudah tahu bahwa they didn’t come yesterday. Faktanya adalah: they didn’t come
yesterday.
How to use Wish in sentences ?
Wish is followed by simple past to state that the desired situation is not possible at
present , whereas wish is followed past perfect to declare that it might not have happened
in the past. Wish can also be followed by past future (would+ Verb1) to express an
uncertain desire.
Some examples of sentences are as follows.
