Answer:
I wish I were the principal of the school.
Explanation:
★ We filled in the blank using the Past Tense (indefinite) form of the verb given in the brackets.
★ Even though the subject was first person singular, we used 'were' instead of 'was'. This is because, when using subjunctive mood (used when conveying wishes or desires) in sentences, a plural verb ( here, this verb is 'were' ) is used with a singular subject ( I ), such as in the given sentence.
★ Examples of such kinds of sentences:
» How I wish I were a bird!
» I wish I were smarter than my sister!
» I wish she were my best friend.
