Cấu trúc WISH: Tất tần tật về cách dùng câu điều ước (mệnh đề Wish)

Cũng giống như câu điều kiện, câu điều ước trong tiếng Anh cũng là một dạng thức giả định, diễn tả những điều trái với hiện tại, quá khứ. Nếu các bạn đã nắm chắc phần câu điều kiện rồi thì sẽ rất dễ dàng trong việc học câu ao ước vì công thức có phần giống nhau. Hãy cùng Kienthuctienganh tìm hiểu xem có bao nhiêu loại câu ao ước, cách dùng và công thức nhé!

I. Định nghĩa

Ví dụ:
I wish Andrew were here. (Tôi ước Andrew ở đây, nhưng thực tế là anh ta không ở đây.)

II. Các loại câu điều ước

Diễn tả sự khó chịu, bực mình, không thể kiên nhẫn của người nói trước một sự việc ở hiện tại và mong muốn nó thay đổi.

Ví dụ:
I wish they would stop making noise. (Ước gì họ sẽ không làm ồn nữa.)
I wish it would stop raining hard. (Ước gì trời sẽ ngừng mưa.)

2. Câu ao ước loại 2

Diễn tả ước muốn trái với sự thật ở hiện tại (giống câu điều kiện loại 2)

Lưu ý:

Trong câu ao ước loại 2, động từ chính được chia ở [bàng thái cách] (past subjunctive).

Ví dụ:
I wish I knew his address. (Ước gì tôi biết địa chỉ anh ta, nhưng thật ra tôi không biết địa chỉ của anh ta.)
I wish I were rich. (Ước gì tôi giàu có, thực tế là tôi không giàu.)

3. Câu ao ước loại 3

Diễn tả ước muốn trái với sự thật ở quá khứ (giống câu điều kiện loại 3)

Ví dụ:
I wish I hadn’t spent so much money. (Tôi ước tôi đã không tiêu quá nhiều tiền, sự thực là tôi đã tiêu rất nhiều tiền.)
I wish I had seen the film last night. (Tôi ước tối qua tôi đã xem phim, sự thực là tôi không xem phim tối qua.)

Lưu ý:

Chúng ta còn có thể dùng "If only" thay cho "I wish" trong cả 3 cấu trúc, nó mang sắc thái mạnh hơn và càng không thể thực hiện được hơn so với "I wish".

Ví dụ:
If only Andrew were here. (Giá gì Andrew có ở đây.)
