Wishes and Regrets a) Talking about things you would like to happen, is it possible to say? We wish we were on vacation. He wishes he were the President. You wish you lived in Venice. b) Talking about regrets and ways things could have been different in the past, is it possible to say? You wish you hadn't done something stupid. I wish I had apologized to my mother. I wish I had remembered to call her. She wishes she hadn't eaten so much. c) Talking about people's habits and things you would like to change about them, is it possible to say? You wish your loved one would be a romantic type. You wish your girlfriend wouldn't send you such long messages. I wish he wouldn't be such a crying baby. He wishes she would listen to him. She wishes he would pay attention to her feelings. That's all folks. Thanks a lot for helping me! : )
