Hello
I know that we use present tense in II conditional:
At an interview an interviewee says:
1. If you gave me a chance Mr Robertson, I would show how good I am. (not 'was')
A man is late for his birthday. His wife doesn't know where he might be; she says to his friend:
2. I wish you knew where he is/was
Now I am confused which is correct is or was? In sentence 1 we use am and what and why should we use in the 2 sentence?
Thank you
