This is a Use of English exercise. 

You usually need to fill in words that have to do with grammar: prepositions, adverbs, linking words a.s.o.

I wish / if only

A. Expressing a wish or a regret  

Use of I wish / if only:  

There are three distinct types of  I wish / if only  sentences: 

1. Wish, wanting change for the present or future with the simple past. 

2. Regret with the past perfect. 

3. Complaints with would + verb. 

Expressing a wish:

Form: 

If only / I wish + simple past  

Example: 

If only I knew how to use a computer. (I don’t know how to use a computer and I would like to learn how to use it) 

Use:  

• To express a wish in the present or in the future.  

• The simple past here is an unreal past.  

• When you use the verb to be the form is “were”.  

Example: 

I wish I were a millionaire! 

Expressing regret:

Form:  

If only / I wish + past perfect  

Example: 

If only I had woken up early. (I didn't wake up early and I missed my bus.) 

Use: 

• To express a regret. 

• The action is past. 

Complaining:

Form: 

I wish / if only + would + verb  

Example: 

I wish you wouldn't arrive so late all the time (I'm annoyed because you always come late and I want you to arrive on time) 

Use: 

• To complain about a behaviour that you disapprove.  

• Expressing impatience, annoyance or dissatisfaction with a present action.
