Lesson 59 --- IF I HAD KNOWN…./ I WISH I HAD KNOWN…
Lesson59: IF I HAD KNOWN / I WISH I HAD KNOWN
dtr
 


A. Study this example situation:


Last month Gary was in hospital for an operation. Liz didn't know this, so she didn't
go to visit him. They met a few days ago.

Liz said: If I had known you were in hospital, I would have gone to visit you.
Liz said: If I had known you were in hospital... . The real situation was that she didn't
know he was in hospital.

When you are talking about the past, you use if + had ('d) ... (if I had known/been/done etc.):

Example:
* I didn't see you when you passed me in the street. If I'd seen you, of course I
would have said hello. (but I didn't see you)
* I decided to stay at home last night. I would have gone out if I hadn't been so
tired. (but I was tired)
* If he had been looking where he was going, he wouldn't have walked into the
wall. (but he wasn't looking)
* The view was wonderful. If I'd had a camera, I would have taken some photo-
graphs. (but I didn't have a camera)

Compare:
* I'm not hungry. If I was hungry, I would eat something. (now)
* I wasn't hungry. If I had been hungry, I would have eaten something. (past)

B. Do not use would in the if-part of the sentence. We use would in the other part
of the sentence:


* If I had seen you, I would have said hello. (not 'If I would have seen you')

Note that 'd can be would or had:
* If I'd seen you, (I'd seen = I had seen)
I'd have said hello. (I'd have said = I would have said)

C. We use had (done) in the same way after wish. I wish something had happened

= I am sorry that it didn't happen:
* I wish I'd known that Gary was ill. I would have gone to see him. (but I didn't know)
* I feel sick. I wish I hadn't eaten so much cake. (I ate too much cake)
* Do you wish you had studied science instead of languages? (you didn't study
science)
* The weather was cold while we were away. I wish it had been warmer.

Do not use would have... after wish in these sentences:
* I wish it had been warmer. (not 'I wish it would have been')

D. Compare would (do) and would have (done):

* If I had gone to the party last night, I would be tired now. (I am not tired now--
present)
If I had gone to the party last night, I would have met lots of people. (I didn't
meet?lots of people--past)

Compare would have, could have and might have:
* If the weather hadn't been so bad, we would have gone out.
* If the weather hadn't been so bad, we could have gone out. (= we would have
been able to go out)
* If the weather hadn't been so bad, we might have gone out. (= perhaps we
would have gone out)


Exercise 1: Put the verb into the correct form.

1. I didn't know you were in the hospital. If I'd -------- (I/know), I would have -------- (I/go) to visit you.
2. Ken got to the station in time to catch his train. If, --- (he/miss) it --- (he/be)
late for his interview.
3. It's good that you reminded me about Ann's birthday. --------------- (I/forget)
if ------------------ (you/not/remind) me.
4. Unfortunately, I didn't have my address book with me when I was in New York.
If ---------- (I/have) your address, -------------- (I/send) you a postcard.
5. A: How was your holiday? Did you have a nice time?
B: It was OK, but --------- (we/enjoy) it more if ------- (the weather/be) better.


Imagine that you are in these situations. For each situation, write a sentence with I wish ...
1. You've eaten too much and now you feel sick.
You say: ___________________________._
2. There was a job advertised in the newspaper. You decided not to apply for it. Now you think that your decision was wrong.
You say: I wish I _______________________.
3. When you were younger, you didn't learn to play a musical instrument. Now you regret this.
You say: _______________________________.
4. You've painted the gate red. Now you think that it doesn't look very nice.
You say: _______________________________.
5. You are walking in the country. You would like to take some photographs but you didn't bring your camera.
You say: __________________________________.

1. If you were given a wish, what will you wish for? Why?
2. What do you want to be in the future?

3. If ever you failed, are you ready to face it?
4. What do you do in order to cope up with failure?
