Lesson 184--Wishes that are regrets


as a child, this is how we made wishes....and weeds
 
 
The last way I want to look at wish this week is how we use wish in the past.  When we use wish in the past, we are regretting something we did, or something we didn't do.

The form is

wish + subject + had/hadn't + past participle

examples                 

I wish I had bought stock in Apple when I was young.

Samantha wishes she hadn't spent so much money on shoes.

My parents wish I had become a doctor or lawyer.

Most of my students wish they had studied English harder in elementary and high school.
