Tuesday recap

Guest post by our classmate Edir Barreto - Thanks Edir - Liam.


Hello guys!

This Tuesday in class we talked about things that DID/DIDN'T happen in the PAST that I REGRET.

Let's see some examples:

- I wish I hadn't ordered that tequila
- I wish I'd never been born

Here you have the formula:

wish + past perfect ----> I wish I'd done my homework
{had + past participle}

We can also replace "I WISH" for "IF ONLY" that way we've two alternatives to express regret.

- If only I hadn't ordered that tequila
- If only I'd done my homework

After the writing practice, we did a listening exercise to check if we were able to write some sentences properly through what we could hear.

- I wish I hadn't eaten all the chocolates
- I wish you wouldn't drive so fast
- I wish it wasn't my turn to cook tonight
- I wish it would stop raining
- I wish we didn't have to go the party
- I wish I'd bought that jacket I saw yesterday.

That's it partners! Now we have a new tool to express regret easily!
