I wish / If only

We're going to miss our flight. I wish we would have taken the train instead of our car to get to the airport.

I wish I would come to the party with you, but I have to work.

I would love to learn to dive, but I don't have any time. I wish I could learn to dive.

I wish she hadn't distracted me in class, but she does all the time.

You are always borrowing my clothes without permission. Please stop it! I wish you wouldn't borrow my clothes without permission.

I miss you very much. I wish you were here.

If I had listened to my parents, I wouldn't have this problem now. I wish I would have listened to my parents.

When I was younger I didn't travel anywhere and now that I'm older I can't do it. I wish I travelled more when I was younger.

I'm feeling awful this morning. I wish I didn't go out until so late last night.

I'm not saying it again. I wish you would listen when I'm talking.

It was stupid of me to say that. I wish I hadn't said that.

My boyfriend's still at the office. I wish he hadn't worked such long hours, but he wants a promotion.

I hate it when people talk on the phone in the cinema. I wish they wouldn't do it, it's so disrespectful!!

If only you didn't live so far, we could meet more often.

He loves history. He wishes he could travel back in time and visit Ancient Rome.
