“If only she could play the guitar” (She cannot do it) We use “WERE” instead of “WAS” after wish and if only.

2. EXPRESSING REGRETS (pesar) To express regret that something happened or didn’t happen in the past, we use “wish” or “If
only” +past perfect.
“I’m tired, I wish I had gone to bed earlier last night” (=I didn’t go to bed very early)

3. EXPRESSING COMPLAINTS (quejas)
We use “wish” or “if only” + would + infinitive when we want something to stop happening, or we
want something different to happen.
