| Jan 31, 2020 at 16:44 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | One key difference is it's perfectly possible to say We wish that we had more time tomorrow, but it's logically almost impossible to say We wish that we had had more time tomorrow (but just about possible with tonight, provided time of utterance is very late in the evening). | |
