if only i

Конструкции wish и if only выражают сожаление о настоящем или прошлом. If only это более эмоциональный и усиленный вариант фразы I wish. Примеры с I wish:Simon has gone on holiday, and I need to speak to him. I wish he were here.
I wish I were better-looking.
It is really cold here. I wish I lived in a hotter country. Примеры с If only I:
4. If only I had more free time, I would help you.
5. If only I were a successful businessman, I could buy a big house. Использование слова only в значении только или лишь:
6. I only wish to tell you the truth.
7. If you wish to succeed, you must only focus on your studies.
