1º Bachillerato: Relative Clauses

Les pongo un enlace de la página donde saqué los ejercicios para que puedan imprimirla/corregirla sin problemas. Cualquier tipo de duda, por favor, déjenmela escrita por aquí.


2º Bachillerato: Wish/ if only activities


2nd Part: Wish/If only
WISHES AND RELATED FORMS  
EXPLANATIONS Key points: 
1. Wishes about the present use a past tense form, and wishes about the
past use a past perfect form
 2. Wishes with would refer either to annoying habits or to something we
would like to happen.
 3. Past tense forms are used after It’s time and I’d rather to show a real
situation.
   It’s time we left.
 4. I hope....can be used in a similar way to I wish….But I hope is used  only for wishes that are actually  possible, and it usually has a good meaning.
            I hope you have a good time.
            There’s a lot to see. I hope you won’t be late.

Wish cannot be used in this way.
I hope…..can be used with the infinitive.
             I hope to see you next week.

But I wish with the infinitive has a different meaning. It is a formal way of saying I’d like to (or I want to)
              I wish to interview you for the job next week.

Note also these expressions:
              I wish you luck/success in your new job.
             We wish you a happy New Year
