Answer 2

To fill in the gaps with the correct form of the verb in brackets, we have:

1. If only I had learned more foreign languages! But I didn’t. (learn) 2. I wish I had phoned my mom before the competition. (phone) 3. I wish I could practice speed climbing every day, but I don’t have time. (practice)

In the first sentence, we use the past participle form of the verb "learn" because it is in the past tense and the action of learning foreign languages was not completed.

In the second sentence, we use the past participle form of the verb "phone" because it is in the past tense and the action of phoning the mom was not completed before the competition.

In the third sentence, we use the base form of the verb "practice" because it is expressing a hypothetical or unreal condition in the present. The subject (I) doesn't have time to practice speed climbing every day, so it is a wish or desire that is not currently possible.
