Please answer me, sweet friends

Hello, Eng_lish - and welcome to English Forums.

We would like you to try yourself first. That is a good way to learn. Then we will review your effort. Which answer do you choose and why?

By the way I'm a student and I want to learn from you, Sir

I didn't understand what you meant by (try yourself first)

I mean you should try to answer the question first, and then we will check your answer.

my answer is ( knew ) and (could know)

what about had known

I wish I knew where I left my jacket.

Only 'knew' is possible, Eng_lish. The verb 'wish' when referring to a present situation always takes the subjunctive form, which looks like the past tense form.

Thank you sir but

If I say ( I can't know where I left my jacket)

and I want to use wish

What about this answer(I wish I could know where I left my jacket)

What's your opinion, Sir?

I can't know where I left my jacket -- We do not say this.

I wish I could know where I left my jacket --No, we do not say this with 'know', which is the result of learning.

But you can use other verbs in that structure:

I can't remember where I left my jacket.

I wish I could remember where I left my jacket.

I can't find o

Thank you sir , *** bless you

What about this

I didn't know where I left my jacket

= I wish I had known where I left my jacket

Right or wrong

Again, they are odd with 'know'. Use 'remember'.

I understood sir

What about this question

Choose

Samir has two sisters;...........of them are older than him

( neither - none - both - each)

This question came in my exam and caused many problems . some teachers say both and others say

none

By the way I'm from Egypt.

I'm in 3rd year secondary
