WISH AND IF ONLY

WISH AND IF ONLY We can use I wish or if only to express a wish. If only is stronger and more emphatic than wish. Jessica wishes she was slimmer. We can use a clause with if only on its own, or we can add another clause. If only I wasn't so fat. If only I wasn't so fat, I would be able to get into these trousers.

WISH AND IF ONLY … WOULD Look at these examples. I wish you would put those shelves up soon. Tom wishes his neighbours wouldn't make so much noise. If only you'd try to keep the place tidy. Wish/If only . .. would expresses a wish for something to happen, or to stop happening.

WISH AND IF ONLY … PAST PERFECT We use wish and if only with the past perfect to express a wish about the past. I wish you had told me about the dance. I would have gone. We do not use would have for the past, but we can use could have. I wish I could have been at the wedding, but I was in New York.

WISH AND IF ONLY … PAST Look at these examples. I wish I lived in a big city. It's so boring in the country. We all wish we had more money, don't we? If only I was taller, I might be better at basketball. Wish and if only with a past tense verb express a wish for things to be different.

WISH AND IF ONLY … PAST We can use were instead of was. If only I were taller, I might be better at basketball. We cannot use would in these sentences, but we can use could. I wish I could sing (but I can't). I feel so helpless. If only I could speak the language.

WISH AND IF ONLY … PAST Compare wish with would and with the past. I wish something exciting would happen. (I wish for an action in the future.) I wish my life was more interesting. (My life isn't interesting.)

HOPE We use HOPE when we feel optimistic about something I hope you pass the exam. We use HOPE + present/future tense with a future meaning, especially when the subject of the two clauses is different. I hope you have a good time.

HOPE We often use HOPE + infinitive when there is only one subject to the sentence. He hopes to pass all his exams. We can use HOPE when we want something to be true about the past, but we don’t know if it’s true. I hope you had a good time (but I don’t know if you had a good time)
