1. Students will be able to use the subjunctive "wish" correctly in sentences.
2. Students will be able to use the word "wish" correctly in sentences.
3. Students will be able to write correct sentences using "wish."

Keep in mind that the only subjunctive that might appear in your sentence is 'were'. 'Wish' is not subjunctive, and 'I wish I had married a rich girl' contains no subjunctive mood either; it is merely past hypothetical.
