Wish and If only

Wish and If only

Let's focus on this song

Who is she?

Let's analyze the lyrics

And I wish you were right here, right now It's all good I wish you would I think of you We're a crooked love In a straight line down Makes you wanna run and hide Then it makes you turn right back around

I wish you would come back Wish I'd never hung up the phone like I did I wish you knew that I'd never forget you as long as I'd live And I wish you were right here, right now It's all good I wish you would I wish we could go back And remember what we were fighting for Wish you knew that I miss you too much to be mad anymore

You say it's in the past And drive straight ahead You think I'm gonna hate you now 'Cause you still don't know what I never said I wish you would come back Wish I'd never hung up the phone like I did I wish you knew that I'd never forget you as long as I'd live

Wish and If only

Expressing annoyance

In the present

We can use wish + would(n't) to show that we are annoyed with what someone or something does or doesn't do. We often feel that they are unlikely or unwilling to change. I WISH+ WOULD+ INFINITIVE I wish you wouldn't borrow my clothes without asking. I wish it would rain. The garden really needs some water. I wish he would stop talking about his new car

We can use wish/if only + a past to express our wishes or regrets for the present. WISH/IF ONLY+ SIMPLE PAST I wish you didn't live so far away. If only we knew what to do. He wishes he could afford a holiday.

Let's play some games!

Make a true or false personal statement using the topics in the wheel. Then, we will try to guess if the statement is true or false.

Thank you!
