0 Hello Blackiana 02br 02br 00Yes, 00 is possible. You could say "I wish you to come back early", for example. But I think "I want you to come back early" is more natural.

0Paco is absolutely right, but I don't understand the question, which indicates: 02br
02br
00"subject + WISH + TO (verb)" 02br
02br
00This to me would be represented, for instance, as: 02br
02br
00"The dog [subject] wishes to (go for a walk)". 02br
02br
00This is a common sentence structure. What is it precisely you

0 Thanks for your help my friend!!!! 02br
00Well, my doubt is about the VERB FORMS that work with WISH.This is what I knew: 02br
00 I+WISH+YOU+WERE+... 02br
00 I+WISH+YOU+COULD/WOULD+BASE FORM OF A VERB+... 02br
00 I+WISH+YOU+...(NO VERB) 02br
02br
00tHESE ARE MY DOUBTS: 02br
00 I+WISH+YOU+will? 02br
