It is certain that people would wish English to be more easy.
Oct 1, 2019 12:19
hello
Oct 1, 2019 11:58
And it indicates that people wish it to be easy.
Oct 1, 2019 11:58
So is it like " As one would wish if they wished"?
Oct 1, 2019 11:58
The IF conditional functions as a tool for making the sentence hyphothetical/not real/will not happen certainly. Am i right?
Oct 1, 2019 11:58
"Beyond taste" and other reasons? I think the first and second examples are the same. Is there any difference?
Oct 1, 2019 11:58
Thank you, now it is more clear. Now I know why i shouldn't use WILL but I still fail to fully understand why WOULD is used especially at(or should i say in?) "as one would wish".
Oct 1, 2019 11:58
And why is "As one would wish" is hypothetical?
Oct 1, 2019 11:58
Thanks for answering. But there are few things I need to ask again
Oct 1, 2019 11:58
"Let's see what book would fit your taste sounds natural and is frequently used, but why is "would" used?
