p. 42: Looking at language

a)

“I wish I had found it,” said Tyler’s dad. “I would have screamed too.” (ll. 17 – 18)

“I wish I had known him, Grandma,” said Tyler. (l. 28)

“That’s cool,” said Tyler. “I think I would have been afraid.” (ll. 54 – 55)

“You wouldn’t have kept the earrings if you hadn’t liked him.” (ll. 40 – 41)

--> past

b)

The would have-form is followed by the past participle (third form) from a verb. When you wish something about the past, use the past perfect after wish. In an if-clause about the past, you use the past perfect (had + third form).

If I had played football, we would have won the game.
