Confusions about the usages of Wish and If only Thank you in advance my friends, My questions are very simple; just to make sure that I am 100% correct. 1. I wish it would stop rain. 2. I wished you would have paid attention to me. 3. I wished you could have studied harder. ------ by the way: I know "Would" imply complains. How about "Could"? 4. I wish I might be there guarding your dream tonight. -------- p.s. Might/ May imply somethings impossible to happen, don't they? 5. In short, in Future Wishes, we can use Could/ Would/ Might/ Should Only in Future Tense can we use Might and Should, correct? And what is the meaning of Should in this usage? 6. in Present Wishes, we can use Past Tense/ Could/ Would. 7. in Past Tense, we can use Past Perfect/ Could have/ Would have 8. Is the Usage of " If only" the same as the above? Thank you very very much my friends. I really really want to make sure if my knowledge is correct.
