Dëshirat 

 

   We use the verb wish or the phrase if only to talk about things which we want but which are not possible: 

   Ne përdorim foljen dëshiroj apo shprehjen sikur për të folur rreth gjërave që ne i duam por janë të pamundura: 

• I wish I could see you next week. 

• If only we could stop for a drink. 

• I wish we had a bigger house. 

• They are always busy. If only they had more time.

We use wish and if only with past tense forms: 

Ne përdorim dëshiroj dhe sikur me format e kohës së shkuar: 

 

• We use past tense modals would and could to talk about wishes for the future:

• I wish I was taller. 

• John wishes he wasn't so busy.

• I wish I was/were taller. 

• John wishes he wasn't/weren't so busy. 

• I'm freezing. If only it wasn't/weren't so cold.
