Direct speech: He said, "Would that I had studied harder!"
Indirect speech: He wished that he had studied harder.

Rule for converting exclamatory sentences expressing a wish:

  • If a sentence begins with If, O that, Oh that, Would that and expresses a wish, use wish in the indirect form.

  • Since the reporting verb is in the past tense (said), in indirect speech wish becomes wished.

  • The reported clause takes the past perfect tense after that.

Example according to the rule:

  • He wished that he had been rich.
