| Number three confuses me a little. If he had been warned more than once, then that suggests that he did repeat the trick. What are these questions for: do you have a more specific goal in mind? |

| Can't we say "...was financing" as well, in the fifth sentence? |

| I wish she had not shouted so loudly just now The other sentences seem fine to me. |

| I wish she did not shout (not shout) so loudly just now. Since the statement is being made after the event 'did not shout' should be in the past tense and hence should be written as 'had not shouted' I wish she had not shouted so loudly just now |
