Water boils at 1000 degrees.

I don’t like Ana, I don’t think I want to go with her.

I need a car. I want to have a girlfriend.

I bought a car, that’s why I didn’t travel with you.

If you heat water at 1000degrees, it boils.

If Ana goes, I won’t go.

If I had a car, I would have a girlfriend.

If I hadn’t bought it, I would have travelled.

I can’t swim. I can’t go to the party. I can’t study now.

My sister is making too much noise, why doesn’t she stop?!

Yesterday I ate too much, I have a horrible stomach-ache.

I wish I could swim. I wish I could go. I wish I could study.

I wish she would stop.

I wish I was taller.

I wish I had a car.

I wish I hadn’t eaten that much.

Your friends want to travel with you, but you don’t have money nor permission.

Your wishes…
