Using

Wish

in English

Using wish...

We use “wish” to say that something is NOT the way we want it to be.

We use this verb to say we desire the something to be true, even if we can’t change it.

Think about the grammar we use

when we use wish...

  1. Tim’s family wishes he worked less.
  2. I wish my family lived closer.

Put the verb “wish” in ___________________tense.

After “wish,” put the verb in __________________.

*Note: Even though we are using a PAST TENSE verb after “wish,” the meaning is NOT past.

We are imagining a situation that is contrary to the reality.

More examples...

  1. I wish I spoke French. =I don’t speak French, but I wish I did.
  2. Sam wishes he were taller. =He desires something that is different than the reality.

Review...

Wish + simple past =to desire a situation that is different from the present I wish I spoke Spanish more fluently.
