I WISH / IF ONLY

Hello everyone! Today i´m gonna show you how to use the "i wish" form. This is used in different ways and it depends on what you want to say. If you want to complain about something in the present you have to use the past simple. Ex: I don´t have a car. I wish i had a car.   If you want to complain about somethin gin the past you have to use the past perfect. Ex: I didn´t go to school yesterday. I wish i had gone to school yesterday. If  you want to complain about someone you have to use  would + infinitive verb.   Ex: Fran is talking evrytime and that annoys me. I wish Fran would be quiet.       Here you have some exercises to practice.   I hope it has helped you!    Bye, Juan Pablo.
