Expressing a regret

0 comments

Example:
If only I knew how to use a computer. (I don’t know how to use a computer and I would like to learn how to use it)

Use:

  • To express a wish in the present or in the future.
  • The simple past here is an unreal past.
  • When you use the verb to be the form is “were”.
    Example:
    I wish I were a millionaire!
