Wish
Hi,
As far as I know, using 'wish+would' with inanimate subjects is restricted.For example, 'I wish it would stop raining', 'I wish the prices would go down'.
Would saying ' I wish the weather would be cooler' sound as natural as ' I wish the weather were cooler' ?
What would the differences be , if any?
Thanks.
