Question 4 • Common Core ELA 12
The subjunctive verb is “knew” in “I wish I knew it.” After “wish,” English often uses a past-tense verb to describe a situation that is unreal or contrary to what is true now. Here, “knew” expresses that the speaker does not know the answer. “Know” is indicative in “I don’t know the answer.”
