🔰Question❓
I just want to know how to use the words "borrow" and "lend" in a situation. Is it correct to say, "Could you lend me a pen?" or " Can I borrow your pen?" Thank you very much.
🔰Answer:
These two words are a source of trouble for many English learners. The reason? They have about the same meaning, but each word's action goes in different directions.

🔔🌐 Wish 🌐🔔

'Wish' is a verb which talks about unreal or imagined situations. Because of this, it has some unusual verb patterns:

🌐A present wish
When we want to make a wish about a present situation, we use wish and a past simple or continuous verb.

♦️I don't have my umbrella. I wish I had my umbrella.

♦️She doesn't know the answer. I wish she knew the answer.

♦️You're at work, but you wish you were playing football, right?


🌐A past wish
When we want to make a wish about a past action or situation, we use wish and the past perfect [ had+past participle verb].

♦️I'm so tired. I wish I had slept for another hour last night.

♦️She knows she made a mistake. She wishes she hadn't been so silly.

♦️You were right. I shouldn't have quit my job. I wish I had listened to you.
