Identify the underlined segment in the following sentence, which contains the mistake that needs to be corrected.We wished today was sunny so that we could spend the day in the country communicating with nature.

Explanation

Intead of 'was', 'were' should have been used. We wish today were sunny.. These phrases are never correct: I wish I was, I wish it was, he wishes he was, she wishes she was. Always remember this rule about the usage of was and were: use were with expressions that are hypothetical, wishful, imagined, desired, doubtful, and otherwise contrary to fact-that is to say, not real.
