      I hope this video cleared up any doubts you had about how to use "wish." And thanks for providing the Portuguese translation. To be honest, I don't know how to use "wish" in Portuguese. The subjunctive or conditional structures in Portuguese always trip me up. :)

      Hello Steeban, Thanks for being here! notice that if you're talking about a past wish, you need to use past perfect in the second clause: I wish I had watched your video.
