I WISH I WERE / IF ONLY constructions | English Grammar explained

This video is about 3 ways to use the construction with "WISH". I give a lot of examples, including special situations that are difficult for students.

In this video:

Wish + past simple = we want a state or condition to be different from how it is right now

Special example with “I wish I were …”

Wish + would / wouldn’t = we want something annoying to stop occurring

Special example that you cannot use it about yourself

Wish + past perfect = we regret something

Special example that you can use “if only”
