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.
