Help the soaked camper finish their grumpy diary entry by dragging the correct verb forms into the blanks.

We are absolutely freezing! I wish it would stop raining so we could finally light a campfire. If only I knew how to build a proper waterproof shelter, but I am just a city boy lost in the woods.

I wish it would stop raining so we could finally light a campfire.

We use "wish + would + base verb" to express a desire for something to happen or change, especially when we are annoyed by a situation (like bad weather).

If only I knew how to build a proper waterproof shelter...

We use "if only + past simple" to express a wish about a present state that is contrary to fact (unreal). The camper doesn't know how to build a shelter right now.
