English Grammar – Present Perfect Introduction
Hey student!
In this post, we are going to talk about WISH in English. There are different ways to use “wish” in English. Today, I am going to show you how to use “wish” + would and how native speakers use this structure in English conversations
We use wish + person / thing + would to talk about things we want to happen, or stop happening because they annoy us. Here is one example:
I wish it would stop raining. I wanna go out!! (I am impatient or annoyed because it is raining)
It basically shows you are dissatisfied with something or even worried about something and this situation is making you annoyed. (irritated)
So the structure is
Subject + Wish + subject/object + would/wouldn’t + verb + complement
Look at two examples below and pay attention to the colors to help you understand each part of the structure
You don’t usually use wish + would for a wish about yourself. (I wish I would X this is NOT common)
Below you will find 7 annoying situations. Write down possible phrases with “wish” to describe how you would like that situation to stop or to say you wouldn’t like that situation to happen. I will give you an example
Post your answers in the comments of this post. If you want more explanations, I have a complete video lesson on my channel. Check out the video below:
I will see you in the next one!
