Lesson 2: Unit 23.2

Grammar: I wish/if only

Key word transformation

Vocabulary

Grammar unit 23

I wish/ If only:

Expressing wishes, regrets and complaints

Watch the video

• Watch the video on the next slide and take notes. 
• Mark down when to use I wish/If only and for which situations.
• Note down an example sentence as well, it will make it easier to remember the rules. 

After you've done this, we will quickly go over the rules together.

I wish/If only

Expressing a wish, a regret, or to complain

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: worked/was/gave)

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: had worked/had been/had given)

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: would work/would be/would give)

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.

Hope vs Wish

I hope & I wish are often confused in English. Keep the following in mind:

• Hope usually takes a present tense and speaks of the future. In this case, we don't know or can't tell the outcome: I hope my flight arrives on time or I will miss the last train.
• Wish does know the facts and they are often the opposite of what want (we want them to be different, but they are not): I wish my flight arrived on time. Now I've missed the last train.

As if/as though (alsof)

We use as if and as though with a past tense to talk about an imaginary situation or a situation that may not be true but that is likely or possible. 

As if is more common than as though, but they have the same meaning:

• He looks as if he knew the answer. (he gives the impression that he knows the answer, but he (probably) doesn't know or we don't know whether he knows or not)
• He seems as if he hadn't slept for days. (it seems that he hasn't slept for days, but he (probably) has or we don't know whether he has or not)

Exercises 1-6

Do exercises 1-6. Keep the rules in mind and read carefully what you have to do for each exercise. Don't forget to do the Corpus Spot as well. 

Exercise 6 is a Use of English exercise. You need to use the word given to change the first sentence into one with the same meaning. Use up to 5 words. See the video for help. She gives you a great way to tackle this!

For the test in testweek 4 you need to be able to do this. Make note of what  the right answers are!
