Complete the exhausted college student's text message to her mom by selecting the correct verb forms.
"I wish my dorm room _________________________ a bit larger so I wouldn't keep tripping over my laundry basket. More importantly, I wish my roommate _________________________ practicing the tuba at midnight!"
The correct answers are were and would stop.
Use wish + past simple (or the subjunctive were) to talk about a desire to change a present state or situation (wishing the room were larger).
Use wish + would + base verb to express annoyance or a desire for someone else's behavior to change in the future (wishing the roommate would stop playing).
