Peace be upon you

we always use the verb TO WISH but we don't know how we make a correct sentence by using it

there are four situations where we use it

First:

TO WISH+PAST SIMPLE:

EX:

I wish I had an umbrella

we use it to talk about things to be true nowbut infact itsn't

Second:

TO WISH +PAST PERFECT:

we use it to express regretion

EX:

she wishes she hadn't left her school

Third:

TO WISH+COULD:

To express moral or physical ability

Ex:

I wish I could stop it

Iwish I could think about it

Fourth:

TO WISH+WOULD:

to express a desire

Ex:

I wish she would phone me

Notes:

*with all the pronouns we use were not was

she were we were .......etc

*we never put will or can after to wish

we always use would & could
