I can help you with the grammar exercise. The correct answers are: 1) I wish I **had** a bigger car. Mine is too small. (б) 2) I wish Ann **hadn't said** that to Stuart. Now he is upset. (в) 3) I wish I **had known** Alice was ill last week. I would have phoned her. (б) 4) She wishes her son **would study** more often. He only studies before the exam. (а) 5) Tom wishes he **knew** Jane's e-mail address. He would send her an e-mail. (в) 6) I wish Thomas **wouldn't be** so selfish but he's always been like this. (а) 7) My brother wishes he **weren't** so untidy. His room is always a mess. (в) 8) I wish I **hadn't eaten** so much at Bill's party. Now I don't feel well. 9) I wish we **didn't have to** wear a school uniform. But it is a general rule. 10) I wish you **would stop** telling me what to do. It really annoys me. 11) Mary wishes she **hadn't forgotten** her umbrella on the bus. She'll have to buy a new one. 12) I wish your friend **wouldn't tell** so many lies. I can't stand liars. The grammar rule is that we use "wish" with different verb forms to express regret or dissatisfaction about something that is true or likely to happen in the present or past. - We use "wish + past simple" to talk about something that we want to be different in the present or future. - We use "wish + past perfect" to talk about something that we regret or are sorry about in the past. - We use "wish + would + infinitive" to talk about someone else's behavior or actions that we want to change in the present or future. I hope this helps you understand the exercise better. ????
