Ever been in this situation?

Grammar: expressing wish (1)

I wish I did

We can use wish + subject + past simple to talk about things that we would like to be different in the present or future (but that are very unlikely or impossible).

• I wish things were different, but this is the way they are.

• We wish we had enough money to help you.

• I wish I could be there for you tomorrow.

Discuss with your neighbour:

Something about your life now that you'd change
(if you could).

Grammar: expressing wish (2)

I wish I had done

We can use wish + subject + past perfect to talk about things that happened in the past and that we regret (we would have wanted them to be different).

• I wish I hadn’t quit my job two years ago. 

• I wish we hadn’t wasted all that money. 

Discuss with your neighbour:

Something about last summer that you wish had turned out differently.

Grammar: expressing wish (3)

I wish you would do

We can use wish + person/thing + would + infinitive when we talk about situations that annoy us and would like them to change or to stop.

• I wish you would stop biting your nails. I hate it when you do it.

• I wish it would stop raining. It’s been three days!

We can NOT use this structure to wish about ourselves:

• I wish I would…

Discuss with your neighbour:

Something that annoys you about one of your room/housemates.

Grammar: expressing wish (4)

If only

We can use if only instead of I wish with a very similar meaning. The only difference is that if only is more emphatic.

• If only I was/were a bit taller!*

• If only you had followed my advice. 

• If only you would make a bit of an effort. You are wasting your life! 
  

🔍 Note that we can use *were instead of was with I/he/she after I wish/if only.

Discuss with your neighbour:

Something that you'd change about your room/housemate
"If only he/she/ ... "
