how do you say, "I wish you were here"
Do I use present or past subjunctive?

Deseo que estuvieras aquí
Ojalá estuvieras aquí.
or Quisiera que estuvieras aqui. ![]()
This is an excellent question because I wish you were here and I wish you are here really mean the same thing, but we say were in English.
I would probably still say "Deseo que estuvieras aquí" but you make me wonder if "Deseo que estés aquí" would mean the same thing.
