    Default wish clauses

    Hello,

    Could you please whether there is any problem in the sentence grammatically which I wrote below?

    -I wish I hadn't said anything about the girl who will come here tomorrow.

    Thank you...

    It looks fine to me too. The only suggested change I would make would be to change "who will come" to the present continuous suggesting the future. The following just sounds more natural to me:

    I wish I hadn't said anything about the girl who's (or who is) coming here tomorrow.
