Grammar | Wish for the Present / Future

• Do you ever wish any of these things from the Pinterest?
• Look at the Whatsapp group messages. Which things annoy you too?

• Notice the differences in grammar used in the Pinterest and Whatsapp posts.

Things I wish were different in the present or future?

I want it to happen or stop happening, because it annoys me (not about myself).

It happened in the past. I regret it. (Deep regret: "if only...")

• Write two more things that annoy you and that you would like people to change, and two more things that you would like to be different about yourself ("I wish people would..." / "I wish I could...")
