Hi,
Can we say I wish I went to the party? Or I wish I could go to the party is the only way to say this.
What is the difference between:
1. I will be typing.
2. I will have been typing.
What is the difference between:
I am writing letters.
I have been writing letters
I wish I had gone to the party. This means that the party is over, and I missed it by choice. Now I regret my decision not to go. "I wish I could go to the party" means that I am unable to go to the party which is happening now or in the future. If the party is over and you were unable to go, you might say "I wish I could have gone to the party."
1. I will be typing. (In the future I plan to do some typing.)
2. I will have been typing. (I am already typing, and at some time in the future my typing will be in the past. Usually used with time references: In 10 minutes I will have been typing for 2 straight hours.)
1. I am writing letters. (Current action. I am now in the process of writing letters.)
2. I have been writing letters. (Action up until now. Writing letters is an ongoing process that has occupied my time recently, but it may not be what I am doing at this very moment.)
