I wish/If only: how to talk about wishes in English
About course
Using the verb want when you talk about wishes - it's like eating bland food when your table is set with delicacies.
- I wish I wasn't late!
- I wish I could sing like this.
- If only you were here…
- I wish I had such a car.
- If only I didn't get drunk yesterday…
These and similar phrases can be used without that notorious want. This course is devoted to the constructions I wish and If only that will help you to talk about your wishes in English. We`ll drill grammar, we`ll look through all the possible meanings of these constructions and we will learn how to talk about wishes as natives.
I wish I had bought this course a year ago! My English would sound much better now, - these are your thoughts after completing the course.
