Question 89

Which sentence contains an error in the wish contrast between the speaker's own present state and another person's behaviour?

  1. I wish I would remember people's names more easily.Bonne réponse
  2. I wish the driver would stop sounding the horn outside our building.
  3. I wish I understood the symbols on this weaving pattern.
  4. I wish the museum would open its side entrance on rainy mornings.

Explication

The memory sentence is erroneous because wish I would remember applies would to the speaker's own state. A past form is required for that present limitation, whereas would is appropriate for another agent's recurring behaviour.
