II. Grammar Focus
A.
1. How S1 wish S2 + V(ed)/were ....

此句型為一種假設法句型，意思為「多麼／真希望……」。
若希望現在或未來是如何如何(此願望通常不容易或不可能實現)，則為「與現在事實相反」假設語句。
wish 後子句的動詞若為 be-V 要用 were 來表達，若為一般動詞，則要用過去式來表達。

例：How I wish he were here now. 　　
        How I wish I could go to the party.

2. How + S1 + wish + S2 + had + p.p. ....

若希望過去是如何如何，則為表「與過去事實相反」。
wish 後子句的動詞要用過去完成式（即had + p.p.）來表達。

例：How I wish I had been at Robert's birthday party yesterday.

【說明】
wish的用法：
1. wish常與假設語氣連用 (a) 表示現在或未來不可能實現的願望，動詞用簡單過去式 (b) 表示與過去事實相反的願望，動詞用 過去完成式
2. 表示祝福。
3. 表示未來可能實現的願望，則改用hope。
例：I wish I were a millionaire so that I could live in ease and comfort. 　　
       Mary wishes she had a house of her own because she is tired of living with her parents. 　　
       My date with Jenny was such a disaster that I wish I hadn't asked her out in the first place.

比較：
       I wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year! 　　
       I hope you can come and visit me sometime in the future.

補充：
 
1.和現在事實相反的假設句型：
 

If+S+過去式V(be動詞一律改為were), S+過去式助動詞(would,could,might)+V
例句：If I were you,I  would take his advice.

2.和過去事實相反的假設句型：
If S + had + Vpp, S + would have/could have/might + have+ Vpp
例句：If it had been for the rain,we could have gone on a picnic.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B.

S + V~, too.--> So + 助動詞/be + S.
S + 助動詞/be + not ~, either.  --> Neither + 助動詞/be + S


either 用在否定句，表「也不」，放在句尾，為副詞。
肯定句則用 too 表「也」，亦是放在句尾。

neither 本身就是否定字，亦是表「也不」，因此它出現的句子為否定句，用此字時，句子要倒裝。
so 用在肯定句，表達「也」的意思，句子要倒裝。

例：I'm not a student, and Thomas isn't, either. 　　
= I'm not a student, and neither is Thomas. 　　

I enjoy playing basketball, and Jason does, too.
= I enjoy playing basketball, and so does Jason.
