FUTURE WISHES

PAST WISHES (REGRETS)

PRESENT and future

We can use: WISH + PERSON/THING + WOULD + INFINITIVE Situations that annoy us and we would like them to change, or to stop.

We can use: WISH + PAST PERFECT to talk about things that happened in the PAST and that we REGRET (we would have wanted them to be different).

We use: WISH + PAST TENSE to talk about things that we would like to be different in the PRESENT or FUTURE.
