Complete the student's inner monologue about their disastrous new haircut. Select ALL the grammatically correct options to fill in the blank.
"This is the worst haircut ever! I look like a frightened poodle. I wish I ____________ to that new barber."
The correct answers are had never gone and hadn't gone.
We use the past perfect (had + past participle) after "wish" to show regret about the past. Both the contraction "hadn't gone" and the emphatic negative "had never gone" are perfectly correct here. The simple past (didn't go) would be used for a present wish, which doesn't fit this past mistake!
