Complete the commuter's daydream with the grammatically correct option.

Stuck in gridlock traffic for the third time this week, David tapped the steering wheel and thought, "I wish I ___ teleport directly to the office."

The correct answer is could.

When wishing for an ability or a possibility in the present or future, we use wish + could + base verb.

You cannot use wish + would when the person wishing is the same as the subject of the wish (e.g., "I wish I would" is grammatically incorrect). Can and will are also incorrect because "wish" requires us to step back into a past/unreal tense to show that the situation is hypothetical.
