Folosim verbul cauzativ ‘Have” pentru a vorbi despre o situatie in care cineva face ceva pentru noi.

Mod de formare:

Subject+have + object + past participle

Ex. He had his hair cut. -Si-a tuns parul. ( Nu a facut asta singur, a mers la frizer)

      We had our house painted.- Ne-am zugravit casa. ( Nu am facut asta singuri, au facut-o zugravii.)

❁❁❁

Folosim “wish” si “if only”pentru a vorbi despre dorinte sau regrete din present, trecut sau viitor, situatii pe care le-am dori diferite. “If only” este mai puternic decat “wish”

➤Atunci cand vorbim despre dorinte din prezent sau viitor, folosim

WISH/IF ONLY + PAST SIMPLE

Ex. I wish I had better result at school.- As vrea sa am rezultate mai bune la scoala. (dar nu am)

If only I knew what to do.- Ce bine-ar fi sa stiu ce sa fac. (dar nu stiu)

➤Atunci cand este vorba despre un regret sau o situatie din trecut care am vrea sa fi fost  diferita, folosim

WISH/ IF ONLY+PAST PERFECT

EX. I wish I hadn`t failed the exam. As vrea sa nu fi picat examenul. (dar l-am picat)

If only I had studied harder when I was in school.-Ce bine-ar fi fost daca as fi invatat mai mult cand eram in scoala. (dar n-am facut-o).
