Time Clauses

Some common English time clauses are listed.

Wishes

Wish clauses can be a problem for students because it depends
on the tense used. Look at the examples:

I don't know Bob. I wish I knew Bob.

In the above example we are talking about a present situation. 
If we want to refer to the past, then it is different.

I didn't know Bob. I wish I had known Bob.

With can we use could.

I can't speak French. I wish I could speak French.
