Wish

Apparently, a verb in the simple tense after the verb wish expresses a state or habitual act.

Is this an exception or what?

I wish you came with me.
  

Top answer

If you would like your friend to come with you, you should say: I wish you would come with me! This isn't a state or anything habitual. Your friend either comes or doesn't come with you after you say the sentence.
