Wish/If only

We use the verb wish or the phrase if only to talk about things which we want but which are not possible:

  • I wish I could see you next week. 
  • If only we could stop for a drink. 
  • I wish we had a bigger house. 
  • They are always busy. If only they had more time. John was very lazy at school. Now he wishes he had worked harder.

Note: if only is a bit stronger than wish

Wish/If only

We can use wish and If only to express different things depending the tense they use: 

•Wish + past simple  •Wish + past continous  •Wish + past perfect  •Wish for expressiing annoyance
3

Wish/If only

As said before, Wish and If only are both use for expressing regrets, things that we would like to change either the past or the present. 

  • I wish I were taller

Wish/If only

Wish + Past simple

We use this combination to talk about wishes for the present. Both wish and if only are followed by the past tense form of the verb.

  • I don't like this place. I wish I lived somewhere more interesting. 
  • John wishes he wasn't so busy. 
  • I'm freezing. If only it wasn't so cold.

Wish + Past Continuous:

Is used to express that we want to be doing a different action in the present (or future).

  • These seats are very uncomfortable. I wish we were travelling first class.

Wish/If only

         Wish + Past Perfect:

We can use 'wish' with the past perfect to talk about regrets from the past. These are things that have already happened but we wish they'd happened in a different way. This use of 'wish' is very similar to the third conditional.

  • I wish that I had studied harder at school. (I didn't study hard at school, and now I'm sorry about it.)
  • I wish that I hadn't eaten so much yesterday! (But I did eat a lot yesterday. Now I think it wasn't a good idea.)
6

Wish/If only

Wish + Would

It's generally used about other people who are doing (or not doing) something that we don't like and we want that person to change. It's not usually used about ourselves, or about something which nobody can change though, exceptionally, we do use it about the weather.

  • I wish that the neighbours would be quiet! (They are not quiet and I don't like the noise.)
  • I wish that you wouldn't smoke so much! (You do smoke a lot and I don't like it. I want you to change this.)

Wish/If only

Other uses of Wish

Wish + to + infinitive: We can use 'wish' with the infinitive to mean 'would like'. This is very formal. We don't usually use a continuous tense with 'wish' in this case.
  • I wish to speak to the headmaster. (This means the same as 'I would like to speak to the headmaster'.)
Wish + object + to + infinitive: In the same way, we can use 'wish' with an object and an infinitive.
  •  I do not wish you to publish this article.
Wish + somebody + something: This is used mostly in set phrases.
  •   I wished him a happy birthday.
