English lesson | Wishes and regrets


In this English lesson, you will learn 4 structures to express wishes and regrets.

wish + past simple
= to describe a situation in the present that we would like to be different.
We use the past simple form, but our regret is in the present.
Example: I wish I had more friends.

wish + someone / something + \”would\” + base form of verb
= we want someone to change their behaviour
or
= we want something to happen
Example: I wish you would listen.

wish + past perfect
= to describe a past situation that we regret.
Example: I wish I had gone to the concert.

We can also use \”never\” with a negative to emphasise our regret:
Example: I wish I had never gone to the concert.
(I went to the concert. I really regret it now.)

\”if only\” + past perfect
= This is another way to describe situation from the past that we regret.
If only I had passed my exams.
(I didn’t pass my exams. I regret it now.)
\”if only\” + past perfect
and
wish + past perfect
The meaning of the above 2 structures is the same.
The difference is that \”if only\” is slightly more formal.

There are lots of examples and detailed explanations in in the video. The accent is a British English accent.

Learn English Grammar: THE SUBJUNCTIVE – \”I wish…\”


\”I wish I were…\”. \”He wishes it would…\”. Wishes are a part of everyday conversation among native English speakers. Are they all dreamers? Maybe. But most of the time, we use ‘wish’ to talk about something that isn’t true or real, more than to talk about our fantasies. In this grammar lesson for advanced students, you’ll learn the correct way to construct sentences using ‘wish’ and the subjunctive voice. You can also take a quiz on this lesson: https://www.engvid.com/wishsubjunctive/
