Hi good students, di bagian ini kita akan bahas bagian ketiga dari penggunaan “if and wish”.

Yuk, simak penjelasannya!

Pelajari contoh berikut ini :

Last month Donal was in a hospital because of Covid-19, Gonius his best friend didn’t know this, so he didn’t go to visit him. They met a few days ago in Tropical Cafe, Gonius said : (Bulan lalu, Donal dirawat di rumah sakit karena Covid-19, Gonius teman baiknya tidak tau hal ini, sehingga dia tidak pergi menjenguknya. Mereka bertemu beberapa hari lalu di Cafe Tropikal, Gonius berkata)

If had known you were in hospital, I would have gone to see you. (Jika saya tau kamu masuk rah sakit, saya akan menjenguk kamu).

Gonius said : If I had known you were in hospital……. That tells us that he didn’t know Donal was in hospital. ( Gonius berkata : jika saya tau kamu masuk rumah sakit……hal ini menceritakan kepada kita bahwa Gonius tidak tau Donal masuk rumah sakit).

We use if +had (‘d) ….to talk about the past (if I had known/been/done):

I didn’t see you when you pass me on the workshop. If I had seen you, of course I would have saih hi. (but I didn’t see you). (Saya tidak lihat kamu ketika kamu lewat di depan bengkel. jika saya melihat kamu, saya akan sapa hai. (tapi saya tidak melihat kamu)).

Compare :

I am not tired. if I was tired, I would take a rest. (now)
I wasn’t tired. I I had been tired, I would have taken a rest. (past)

Do not use “would” in the if-part of the sentence. We use “would” innthe other part of the sentence:

If I had seen you, I would said hi (not, if I would have seen you)

Note that ‘d can be as would or had

If I’d seen you, (I’d seen=I had seen)
I’d have said hi (I’d have said =I would have said).

We use had (done) in the same way after “wish”. I wish something had happened = I am sorry that it didn’t happen:

I wish I had known that Donal was ill. I would have gone to see him. (but I didn’t know). (saya harap saya tau Donal sakit. Saya akan pergi menjenguknya (tapi saya tidak tau).
I feel sick. I wish I had eaten so much rendang. (I ate too much rendang). (saya merasa sakit. saya telah makan terlalu banyak rendang)
Do you wish you had trained hard for worksheet competation? (you didn’t train giat). (Apakah kamu telah berlatih keras untuk lomba LKS?, kamu tidak berlatih giat)

Do not use “would have”….after “wish”:

She was fever while we were away. I wish it had been fine. (not I wish it would have been fine)

Compare would (do) and would have done (done):

If I had gone to the meeting yesterday, I would be tired now (I am not tired now)
If I had gone to the meeting yesterday, I would have given my report. (I didn’t give my report).

Compare would have, could have and might have :

She hadn’t been fever so bad, we would have gone out
She hadn’t been fever so bad, we could have gone out. (we would have been able to go out).
She hadn’t been fever so bad, we might have gone out. (perhaps we would have gone out).
