Hello teachers. Could you help me with the following question?
#1 I wish I knew his name at that time.
#2 I wish I had known his name at that time.
Which one is better to use?
Thanks in advance.

I prefer #2, and I think that would be the more "correct" grammar, but I am sure a lot of people just use #1. |

Hello Lorikeet.
Thank you for answering my question!
Now I know why some people use #1 even though it is a wish about what happened in the past.
Thank you very much!
