I wish / if only
A. Expressing a wish or a regret  

Use of I wish / if only:  
There are three distinct types of  I wish / if only  sentences: 
1. Wish, wanting change for the present or future with the simple past. 
2. Regret with the past perfect. 
3. Complaints with would + verb. 

Slide 25 - Tekstslide

Expressing a wish:
Form: 
If only / I wish + simple past  
Example: 
If only I knew how to use a computer. (I don’t know how to use a computer and I would like to learn how to use it) 
Use:  
• To express a wish in the present or in the future.  
• The simple past here is an unreal past.  
• When you use the verb to be the form is “were”.  
Example: 
I wish I were a millionaire! 

Slide 26 - Tekstslide

Expressing regret:
Form:  
If only / I wish + past perfect  
Example:
