Grammar Challenge (Learn English)

This is another programme that help to improve your English grammar but this is a little more interesting because each week they challenge an English language student on verb forms, tenses, prepositions and pronunciation.
In this ocasion they talk about the word "regret" that mean when you did something in the past and if you could be back in the past you change it, and the grammatical structure for this situations is, first you have to use the word "I wish" with the past perfect and the structure of the past perfect is, first the subject then "had" and finally the verb in past participle, for example, "I wish I had taken my umbrella" and the negative "I wish I hadn't bought a rather expensive dress". Don't forget to use the the verb "wishes" if you are talking about he or she.
I think this kind of podcast are excellent alternatives to practise the English and the advantage is that only last six minutes, so you could listen it in any time of the day.
