@ellekroeoeke Thank you.
And how about this sentence?
“I wish there would be no Covid-19 at this time next year.” ←Is this correct?
I was taught we don’t use “would” with “be verbs”, but I think this sentence is correct.
How is it?

@c1l21041 to me, I think it would sound better as "I wish that there would be no covid 19 at this time next year"

@ellekroeoeke So, you mean we can use “would” with be verbs, right?

@c1l21041 actually, I'm sorry but no.
you'd have to use "will"
would is the past tense version, meaning that you wish that there was no covid because /will /is future tense and more grammatically correct

But we use past tense to talk about now in “If” sentence or “ I wish” .
We are taught like that in Japan.

I meant we say “ If I were you, I would do—“ or “ I wish I were a bird”
This sentence’s meaning is not for past. It’s meaning is for now.
