I wish, If only.
Wishes about the present
We use wish with past Tense forms (simple and continuous) to express regret about present situations:
- I wish I was taller = (I’m not very tall)
- I wish I was going with you = (but I'm not)
I wish you were more help. = (you are not) I wish I were can replace I wish I was.
To many people, I wish I were sounds more correct:
I wish I were taller.
We use wish with could to express a wish for a present situation to be different:
I wish I could use a computer well.

Would > future > I wish you would be quiet. (= Your talking irritates me.)
Past Perfect > past > I wish I had known you then. (= but I didn't)

Wishes about the future
We use wish with would to say how we would like somebody to behave in the future:
/I wish you would stop talking.
/I wish they would stop arguing.
• We can also use this pattern in situations that do not involve people:

Wishes about the past
We use wish with the Past Perfect when we have
Regrets about the past:

If only you were here. (= but you re not)
If only the sun would come out!
