use the verb "wish"

[trueheart_205]

Could you tell me how to use the verb "wish" and how to express a wish with this word?
Please show me clearly how to use "wish" to express a wish for past, present, future...
I will appreciate any replies!
Thanks in advance!:roll:

This is much too broad a question. have you looked it up in a dictionary?

Ok,now I give you some contexts as follow. And you help me to bring out appropriate sentences.
The first context: now I don't have a wife. I wish to have a wife right now.
The second context: when I was young, I didn't practise swimming, so now I don't know how to swim. I wish I practised swiming at that time.
The third context: I wish I will be a doctor in future.
Thanks!

"I wish I had a wife."
"I wish I had learned to swim when I was young."
"wish" is not really appropriate for the third context.
