P.S. Look up in any standard English grammar book, you will find it...

Yea...I remember... thank u rinku...😊

But then I cannot say "I want Cvs to..." since it is already over.. na?

That was the grammatic error in there, i suppose...

@rinku...

"I wish I were wrong " means I am right and a past thing and cannot be brought back...

So, I was 'right' and the result cannot be revisited or cannot be made 'wrong'

Hence there is no meaning in me then saying "I want CVs to prove me..."

because the event is already happend and the above phrase has no meaning or cannot be done...😊

Nope... It can be used with other words like I, he/she to describe an impossible event...

eg: "I wish I were wrong" means that I am right ... and it is a truth that cant be brought back..

eg: I wish I were a bird... It means I am not a bird.. cant be undone..

WIshes that can never be true ...

Pasts that are impossible to undo..or correct
