They may not be aware of the use of the past perfect for past counterfactual ideas (I did
in fact lose my temper.
You could check that the students understand the idea - 'Did the speaker lose his temper?' 'Is the speaker happy about this?'
I jumped a stage there. Are you sure that the students actually understand what 'I wish' and 'lose one's temper' mean?

Ok well that example is from an assignment where the question is "Potential problems and solutions: What problems might students have with the form? What might students say? What could you write on the board to prevent this?"
There is already a section on CCQs/timeline etc
The other examples are from my lesson planning...
Re: ITT I struggle with M.F
Have you thought of any incorrect forms students might use instead of the past perfect?
