Catherine's Grammar Explanation: Corporation 2007
Wish + past perfect
Hi Daewon! Well done - Mark didn't take his umbrella to the park, and now he
regrets it. Elena bought an expensive dress, and she regrets that too. Here's Mark:
Mark: I wish I had taken my umbrella.
Let's break that down. Mark used:

I wish, with the past perfect. Now remember,
the past perfect has 3 parts; a

subject, like I, you, he, then 'had' and finally, the
past participle


, for example, take, took, taken taken is the past participle. So
'I had taken'


is past perfect.
So, when Mark says
Mark: I wish I had taken my umbrella.
he's using 'I wish', with past perfect, to talk about past regrets.
Mark regrets something that

didn't happen – he didn't take his umbrella, and he
wishes he had. But Elena regrets something that

did happen: she bought an
expensive dress, but she never wore it. So

she uses I wish with I hadn't bought
that's a

negative past perfect. Here she is again…
Elena: I wish I hadn’t bought a rather expensive dress in the sales.
One more thing, if you're talking about

he or she, don't forget to say wishes
instead of

wish – so if you're talking about Elena, say 'she wishes she hadn't
bought that dress'.
Ok Daewon, good luck with your grammar challenge!
