      USAGE OF WISH-

      It’s used for things which are impossible or very unlikely-

      For example-

      I wish that I had a big house. ( I don’t have a big house, but it’s a nice idea.)

      I wish that we didn’t need to work today.( we do need to work today, unfortunately).


      STRUCTURE- SUBJECT + WISH + THAT + SIMPLE PAST.


      WOULD is used with ‘wish’ to show about other people who are doing something that we don’t like and we want that person to change-


      For example- I wish that neighbours would be quiet!


      It is used with the Past Perfect to talk about regrets from the Past.
      For example- I wish that the train had been on time.


      Wish is used to replace “would like”. Here. The structure is – wish + to + infinitive

      I wish to talk to the Principal. ( I would like to speak to the Principal.)
