A Missing Past Perfect

Use the past perfect when something ends in the past, not merely happened in the past. This guy should have used the past perfect! Last panel.

“I wish I had known,” not “I wish I knew,” because the knowing could end in the past, and the simple past implies the knowing is still happening. Too late!
