I wish i were that coordinated, subjunctive mood error

[–]Koodoo25 1 point2 points ago

"Were is used in a state that has never existed and never will exist"

"Was is used in situations where the statement might once have been or could be reality."

So technically the correct usage would be "I wish I was" because it is possible for OP to be as coordinated as that elephant.

it is were because as you said the subjunctive mood refers to an imaginary situation. Since he can never be as coordinated as that elephant, because he has neither a trunk or four legs, it is an imaginary situation.

[–]Koodoo25 0 points1 point ago

Coordination is a trait of any animal, not just for elephants. So it is possible for OP to have enough coordination to be equivalent of the coordination of the elephant. True, he/she does not have coordination in their trunk and 4 legs, because they don't have those body parts. He is not a coordinated elephant, but he can be as coordinated as the elephant.

[–]drawniw 0 points1 point ago

however my point is that he will never be that coordinated because he will never be able to toss a ball from his trunk to his hind leg and kick it. Therefore he will never be that coordinated

[–]Koodoo25 1 point2 points ago

Well, when you put it that way, I guess you are correct.

[–]drawniw 0 points1 point ago

Thank you. I also see your point of view in that although he will not be able to do that exact skill, OP could still be very coordinated. I am glad we could come to a civilized agreement.
