wish/if only
С I wish и If only изразяваме съжаление или желание нещата да са различни. За настоящето използваме минало просто време: I wish I had a dog (нямам куче, но искам). За миналото използваме минало перфектно време: I wish I had gone to bed earlier (съжалявам, че не съм). С would изразяваме раздразнение от чуждо поведение, което искаме да се промени: I wish they would stop making noise. If only има същото значение, но е по-силно и емоционално.
