Hello,
My grammar book offers the example "I wish he were rich" to explain
the use of the word "were" in the sentence.
The example "I wish he had been rich" also appears there.
But I'm beginning to wonder if the following sentence makes sense.
ex) I wished he were rich.
If so, what would be the difference in meaning between the two sentences
"I wish he were rich" and "I wished he were rich"?
