I'm Spanish and the Andrews' lessons have helped a lot in order to understand properly a and almost perfectly the British grammar, so l'm absolutely convinced he's one the best teacher l ever meet.
Hello Andrew ! Great. Thanks a lot. The video lesson about the 4 structures of wishes and regrets are meaningful and helpful. The way you extrapolate the topics with examples and photographs to have a better understanding are perfect and excellent. On that note, you deserve a good credit. You are an outstanding English teacher and a good linguist. Hats off to you ! I look forward to other similar video lesson soon. My kindest regards, Fazil
Thanks a lot about your great lesson my amazing teacher keep up the good work my amazing teacher keep up the good work!!! I've been learning more from you i wish i had Money to give you regarding the English lesson!!!
Hello dear teacher Thank you so much for your interesting information about English,i do appreciate your job.I wish you peace and happness under the sky of prosperity. Take care and have a good time. All the best. Your Student from Algeria.
We have a test in English soon, on that :) I'm glad to understand your lesson because my english teacher is so bad, I'm French and I gotcha everything that you said, so I imagine, English people could arrive easy
Hey teacher Andrew!, why did you left us a lot of time?! ...I think I talked for all suscribers when I say that we miss your lessons!....I am glad to hear your voice again and I can continue learn english again ;) ... Cheers!, Raquel
Good evening, I've been told and read many times that the correct way to say it is " I wish I were", but here you said its " I wish i was". Which one would be the correct form? Thank you
Hello sir. I've a question. Many other professors or teachers suggests that ' I wish I were rich ' is grammatically correct than 'I wish I was rich ' . Plz help out in clearing the confusion between Were and Was in these kind of 'wish' sentences.
The “correct” form would be to use ‘were’ because you are talking about a hipotetical/impossible/ unreal situation. It’s been a battle with the linguists because people are using it and it’s getting acceptance little by little.
i wish i had a great english skill i wish my father would admit me in English school i wish i had gone to english school if only i had gone to english school
I have read it somewhere - I wish I would have met him earlier. Is it correct? If I follow the instructions,it should be - I wish I had met him earlier. Isn't it the right form?
RA Cha I wish farmers wouldn’t put a lot of fertilisers on their crops :) Or you can say it in present I wish farmers didn’t put a lot of fertilisers on their crops :) hope it’s helpful
The correct form is "I were" and not "I was" although you can say it, but you cannot write it. This would be incorrect: the past simple "were" is used because it has never occurred
Hello Sir, Can we use I wish I was rich/ I wish I were rich? Also I need clarification in the use of If only. I think If only is used in a positive sense. Please explain.
"I wish I were" rich is actually correct. The verb is not the past simple; it is actually the subjunctive. The difficulty is that the subjunctive in this structure uses the conjugation of the third person plural past. For most all verbs (excepting "to be"), the conjugation is the same as the simple past. Hence the confusion being spread. "If only I were in London," is also correct.
I want to write four sentences about this lesson, please let me know if they are right? I wish I was fluent in English. I wis I had studied English at a university. I wish you would help me to improve my English on Skype. If only I had found your channel earlier.
If only I had watched yor lesson in the past
This channel literally saved my life ,so grateful for discovering it.
If only I had a car, is that all?

I think it's grammatically correct to say I wish I was but it's more appropriate to say I wish I were ...your opinion please?
I think the same! for example: I wish I were rich!
I loved it
it was very good thank you.
I wish i spoke english more confidently without thinking so much
Same as me!😉
Thanks Teacher, excellent!
Great work!!!!

Thanks for this useful lesson
I have read it somewhere - I wish I would have met him earlier.
Is it correct?
If I follow the instructions,it should be - I wish I had met him earlier.
Isn't it the right form?
very very important, thanks a lot
you can answer on my question please :
farmers should not put a lot of fertilisers on their crops the sooner the better
with wish
RA Cha I wish farmers wouldn’t put a lot of fertilisers on their crops :)
Or you can say it in present I wish farmers didn’t put a lot of fertilisers on their crops :)
hope it’s helpful
Excuse me
Thank you so much for the great job
is it right to say I wish I was or I wish I were
Thanks in advance
The correct form is "I were" and not "I was" although you can say it, but you cannot write it. This would be incorrect: the past simple "were" is used because it has never occurred
I wish you were my teacher. you're awesome 😍
Thank you.
Can you tell me how we can use was with wish? I'm still confused please tell me
Thank you!!
Great. Thanks a lot
Ok. Very nice.
What about these two sentences? Are they correct?.
I wish I was/ were a doctor.
He wished he was/were a doctor.
Tkanks for you lesson.
do you have a video about "Subject-verb agreement?" Thank you
it is quite understandable
thnks a lot
Useful lesson
Could we publish this video for commercial use if u allow to us .
Hello Sir,
Can we use I wish I was rich/ I wish I were rich?
Also I need clarification in the use of If only. I think If only is used in a positive sense. Please explain.
"I wish I were" rich is actually correct. The verb is not the past simple; it is actually the subjunctive. The difficulty is that the subjunctive in this structure uses the conjugation of the third person plural past. For most all verbs (excepting "to be"), the conjugation is the same as the simple past. Hence the confusion being spread. "If only I were in London," is also correct.
Thank you very much
I want to write four sentences about this lesson, please let me know if they are right?
I wish I was fluent in English.
I wis I had studied English at a university.
I wish you would help me to improve my English on Skype.
If only I had found your channel earlier.
Than for everything A., beatiful lesson...29.8.2017
Thank you so much 😊
Excuse me teacher but wich is the difference between "I wish I COULD" and "I wish I WOULD"?
Good video, it helps me a lot
Could is the past form of the modal can.
Would is the weak from of will
Nice lesson , as always, but if i said : I would like to have a house ... instead of I wish etc.. it would change in meaning ? Thx
If only I had seen your video, I would be effective now.
