1. I wish I had been more careful. I wouldn't have hurt myself. Explanation: In this sentence, we are talking about a past situation. The speaker regrets not being more careful and believes that if they had been more careful, they wouldn't have hurt themselves. To express regrets about a past action, we use the past perfect tense. So, the verb "be" should be in the past perfect tense, which is "had been." 2. I wish I had a lighter to start a campfire. Explanation: In this sentence, the speaker is expressing a desire for a lighter in the past to start a campfire. Since we are talking about a past situation and the speaker is expressing a wish for something in the past, we use the past simple tense. So, the verb "have" should be in the past simple tense, which is "had." 3. I wish the weather weren't so hot. Explanation: In this sentence, the speaker is expressing a wish for the weather to be different. The weather being "so hot" is an unreal condition for the speaker. To express an unreal condition in the present, we use the subjunctive mood. The simple form of the verb "be" in the subjunctive mood when referring to the present is "were." However, in this sentence, we are talking about the weather in the past, so the verb "be" should be in the past simple tense, which is "were." 4. If only Mike hadn't left the compass at home. We wouldn't be lost now. Explanation: In this sentence, we are talking about a past situation where Mike left the compass at home, resulting in being lost now. The speaker expresses regret about Mike's action in the past. To express regrets about a past action, we use the past perfect tense. So, the verb "leave" should be in the past perfect tense, which is "hadn't left." 5. If only we had brought sleeping bags. We wouldn't be cold at night. Explanation: In this sentence, we are talking about a past situation where the speaker and others didn't bring sleeping bags, resulting in being cold at night. The speaker expresses regret about not bringing the sleeping bags in the past. To express regrets about a past action, we use the past perfect tense. So, the verb "bring" should be in the past perfect tense, which is "had brought."
