“I wish I were taller.”

We use wish with would to say how we would like somebody to behave in the future:
/I wish you would stop talking.
/I wish they would stop arguing.

We use wish with the Past Perfect when we have

Regrets about the past:
“I wish I hadn't taken your advice.” (= but I did)

If only can be more emphatic than I wish. The verb forms after if only are the same as
the patterns with wish:
